Unable to upgrade edition of Windows Server 2016 (Standard -> DataCenter)

2

I am trying to upgrade my Windows server 2016 from Standard to DataCenter using the command dism /online /Set-Edition:ServerDatacenter /ProductKey:MY-WORKING-MSDN-KEY /AcceptEula . Unfortunatelly it ends with error 14081.

In the dism.log I have the following:

2019-04-06 21:11:22, Info                  DISM   DISM Package Manager: PID=4204 TID=5000  Error in operation: (null) (CBS HRESULT=0x80073701) - CCbsConUIHandler::Error

The same command works on other system without problems with the same key.

Can you please be so kind and help me ? The command DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /Scanhealth shows nothing and I really do not know what to do except reinstalling the whole server.
