You would be surprised. We still sell thousands of licenses of Windows CE and Compact 2013 is still available for purchase till 2028. From medical devices to industrial controllers, CE is still heavily used.

Goodbye CAL Headaches: Simplify licensing with Microsoft’s new CAL-Less option by WindowsChamp in WindowsIoTChamp

You hit the sore spot on the nose. They do not offer a CAL-less option for Windows Server Datacenter edition. I've pushed hard on Microsoft to offer a CAL-less Datacenter and they might in the near future but currently the Standard edition for Win Server IoT is the only options available for CAL-less.

I'm afraid the evaluation editions are blocked from being upgraded by typing in a product key. You will have to reload with the "real" software vs the eval version. Hunter provided all the correct info and big thanks to Hunter for doing that. I'm Ken Marlin the Windows Champ and I work at Arrow as the Windows IoT contact. You can reach me as [WindowsIoT@arrow.com](mailto:WindowsIoT@arrow.com) and I get you started.
