Server 2019 offline lab - DCs keep on shutting down?

Hello, I'm running a couple of server 2019 VMs in an offline (not connected to the internet) in eval mode.
The VMs appear to shutdown. Is this because I'm running them in eval mode? And in order to expand the eval period i need to connect them to the internet to communicate with Microsoft?

Yes, it's probably because of it and you can extend the period with this:
slmgr -rearm

Open in new window
