HP Server Ml310 Gen8 shutdown randomly

Problem: HP server shutdown randomly

iLo log shows: server power removed, embedded flash/sd-card:restarted

Tried update firmware, BIOS, drives, power supply etc. It seems to me that the motherboard is not good based on my online search.

However, after further investigation, it turns out that the sever is running out of trial period.

Windows logs shows Event 1074

Comment: the license period for this installation of Windows has expired. The operating system is shutting down.

Solutions:

Extend Windows Server trail period
