I’m including this tidbit to clarify that the empty value for “Current edition is” doesn’t seem to have any relevance here. Only “Current Edition” had a value for me: “ServerStandard”. One other thing I found confusing is that if you run DISM /online /Get-CurrentEdition, there is a “Current edition is” and a “Current Edition” parameter in the response. So I ran the command with “ServerStandard” and it worked, as follows.ĭISM /online /Set-Edition:ServerStandard /ProductKey:XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX /AcceptEula That revealed an option for “ServerStandard”. Poking around a bit more I found the DISM TechNet reference and the DISM.exe /Online /Get-TargetEditions command. Unfortunately, it didn’t mention anything about MSDN licenses, and in principle my edition wasn’t changing, so I didn’t really know what to do for the Set-Edition parameter that he speaks to in:ĭISM /online /Set-Edition: /ProductKey:XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX /AcceptEula. I had vague recollections that this may not be possible, but the best information I found was this Blain Barton post on converting evaluation editions. Off to my favourite search engine I went, but I found surprisingly little about this. It basically tells you the same thing about struggling with the edition. I am using a windows server 2012 R2 standard key into the evaluation but it says the key is not suited for that copy of windows. Running that slui.exe command doesn’t get you very far though. I have windows server 2012 R2 standard evaluation installed.
