    I have a legit windows 2019 core key and want to license a system I installed with an evaluation image.
    Trying to license it with the MAK key fails: I think I'm in the wrong channel.
    how can I convert the system to the MAK channel licensing scheme without having to reinstall?

    Well it could be that it's meant for 1809... any link to a clean ISO?

    Remember, semi annual Server version 1809 has no GUI.

    I ended up downloading the ISO from the Volume Center from microsoft and it just accepted my licenses straight away.
