SQL 2016 license expired ??

Hi we have an SQL Server with a VLK.

We have some problem with the server and to start up the services.

I says in the log:
2017-04-25 10:01:05.92 Server SQL Server evaluation period has expired.
2017-04-25 10:01:05.92 Server SQL Server shutdown has been initiated

But that doesn't makes sense do to the fact that it is a volume license key we used.

is there anyway i can fix this?

I would believe that the log information is correct and somehow you missed to upgrade the Evaluation Edition to a Standard or Enterprise Edition.
Do you remember the steps you took to upgrade the Evaluation Edition?
