I'm in the process of 'upgrading' / changing the server version on 2008 standard server. I went through the process but wanted to wait and restart after hours, this did not work well.
The process I'm using has worked before. I run.
dism /online /get-currentedition to verify that edition info is good
dism /online /get-targeteditions to verify that edition info is good and that I can move to enterprise version
then run
DISM /online /Set-Edition:ServerEnterprise /ProductKey:489J6-VHDMP-X63PK-3K798-CPX3Y (public KMS Key used here)
all is good. No problems the result of the last command is good as expected.

Finished updating components.
Starting to apply edition-specific settings...
Restart Windows to complete this operation.
Do you want to restart the computer now (Y/N)?

But, this time I did not want to restart at the moment so I responded with "n".
This resulted in the error below and now I can't run the command successfully.

Error: 0x80220001
An error occurred while applying target edition component settings. The upgrade cannot proceed.

When I try to run the command again I get this error:
Error: 0x800f0805
The Windows edition was not detected.
