The downloads are made available after a short sign-up process. Thank you.As demonstrated in the screenshot below, Windows Server 2019 Standard or Datacenter are available for download for free from Microsoft Windows Server Evaluations page here: I´d appreciate your thoughts on that issue. Should I disable the File and storage services role? I will only run this only VM on the physical server and this server will only run Hyper-V. Would that be an issue for licensing? The only roles it has is the Hyper-V and File and storage services role. Is there anything I could have done wrong configuring Hyper-V? The physical server still has SQL server Express and Firebird Installed. If you recently repaired Windows or made significant hardware changes to this device select troubleshoot to try and fix the problem or go to the store to buy genuine Windows. When I checked the activation status I saw the following message: "We can´t activate windows on this device as the product key you entered doesn't match the hardware profile. After a while there was a message on the desktop about the Windows Activation. The Server came up fine and all the applications worked fine as well. After that we installed the Hyper-V role on the physical machine and added a new virtual machine pointing to the VHD file already created. First we converted the server physical machine to a VHD file using Disk2Vhd tool. We decided to convert this machine to a VM for easing the backup process (backing up the whole VM instead of each application data - SQL and Firebird).

Those two applications have been installed and were working fine. This server will only be used to Run 2 applications (one of them running firebird DB and another one running SQLEXPRESS Server). We are a small company and have bought a Dell server with Windows Server 2019 Essentials OEM.
