Windows Server 2022 Eval to full using purchased key?
We have servers we purchased that had Win Server 2022 preinstalled and the key label pasted to the hardware. Additionally we have two other servers that are a year old but are identical to the two new ones. We purchased license for those two as well. The goal is to cluster all four identical servers with Windows Server 2022.
The problem is we did not get ISOs or install media. I have downloaded the Windows Server 2022 Evaluation and am currently installing it onto the first machine. The question has come up as to whether or not I can input one of our product keys to get it out of “eval” and make it a full fledged server without having to reinstall Windows 2022 again. Is this possible or should I get install media for Windows Server 2022?
