Google is not your friend here either as most questions come back to "how to upgrade the eval to full version" which is well after the point I'm at for installation.Description Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard License RETAILĪt the heart of the Microsoft Cloud OS vision, Windows Server 2012 R2 brings Microsoft’s experience delivering global-scale cloud services into your infrastructure. I understand and support paid support down the road, but not when their software is not working as they promise it will. We just spent a ton on their software and getting someone to answer questions without a paid support contract is nearly impossible. Microsoft is a minefield of getting someone to talk to. The authorized reseller who we bought the codes from only links to a very detailed document on upgrading and downloading the EVAL ISO from MS. It only gives me the one choice of "wipe it all out and start over" which is not what the documentation from Microsoft claims.
When I run this on our server to install, the "upgrade" option aka "Keep Files." is disabled. Microsoft only allows the download of the EVAL version. I will be guiding us toward that later, but baby steps for now. Please note, this IS what we need to do so discussions about "best practices" and VMs and migrations are not helpful for this particular occasion. Bought licenses for Windows server 2019 because Microsoft documentation claims you can upgrade from Windows Server 2012 R2 directly in-place.
