Posted on February 23, 2021 By rich No Comments on Using DISM to convert Server 2016 Evaluation License to a normal License

Scenario

We have a copy of server 2016 installed on an evaluation license and we want to license it with our company license. Datacenter edition of Server 2016 is required to do this conversion.
