Windows 10: Activating Windows Server 2022 Standard Edition Evaluation

I am trying activate windows server 2022 standard edition evaluation on an air-gapped network. I installed Windows Server 2022 from an ISO and configured it as the desktop experience, and I skipped the product key step. At the moment, there is no product key found in the Activation page, and when I run slmgr /dli it throws the error: product key not found. What product key do I use? Where do I get it? This is just for the evaluation. After I get the product key, I enter it in, find the installation ID, and call the activation center to get my confirmation ID, correct? Then I should be good to

:)

 

Windows Server 2022 is now in preview on the Evaluation Center

Windows Server 2022 Standard running unlicensed

--TLDR--

How much longer can I use the Server before it starts shutting down or being unusable?

Upgrade date: 11th April 22

From: Server 2022 Standard Evaluation

To: Server 2022 Standard (used DISM command)

Hi thanks for checking my question.

I recently upgraded some Windows Server OSs and have exhausted the purchased licenses. So I need another license and that's all well and good.

However, I'd like to know how much longer the (to-be-licensed-soon) server will last.

As per the above details.

Its been running fine for a week since the upgrade (from Eval).

Didn't find any reference to Server 22 when researching this. Mainly stuff about Server 2016 or 2012/R2, mentioned server shutdown etc. But no data on unlicensed Standard Server editions.

Thanks for your input and teaching me something!
