Windows 10: Windows Server Evaluation Center

I am trying to download an evaluation copy of Microsoft Server 2019 but when I click on the link to enter the Evalution center it takes me to a download page with no options to download the iso. Does Microsoft not offer the Evaluation iso like it use too?

:)

 

Windows Server 2022 is now in preview on the Evaluation Center

Evaluation license for Windows Server 2016

Dear community,

I am currently preparing for the 70-740 exam and was wondering if there is a way to get an evaluation license key so that I can start to install and configure Windows Server 2016 in my home environment and work through the course material.

When I go to the Microsoft Evaluation Center and use the dropdown-menu 'Products' I can only find evaluation software/keys for the newest Server 2019 version. Searching for Windows Server 2016 doesn't yield any results.

Hopefully someone can help me out with this.

Thanks in advance!

 

Convert Windows Server 2012 R2 Evaluation to Windows Server 2012 R2

I have purchased the product key of Windows Server 2012 R2. Now the server is on Windows Server 2012 R2 Evaluation. I found a few links there they explained on how to convert from Windows Server 2012 R2 Evaluation to Windows Server 2012 R2 with valid product
key. One of the example is this link:

How to activate Windows Server 2012 R2 Evaluation - Nicolas Ignoto, CTP

Is this a correct way to do? If I follow this step, will my data be erased?

I want to avoid formatting/fresh Windows install because there are some software in the server that we do not know how to backup. We just want to get it activated now, backup will be sorted out later.
