Enabling SharePoint Enterprise Features
You can upgrade from SharePoint Server 2016 Standard to Enterprise at any time.

Changing the product key
The license key of SharePoint Server 2016 cannot be changed afterwards. A new installation of the SharePoint Farm is necessary.
When you click on the convert farm license type Link, you will be landed on convert license type page. This page will give you the option to change the License type from Standard to enterprise or from trail to regular.

There is a situation when you have to change the product key of SharePoint farm. For example
1.You have SharePoint Server with Standard client access license; now you want to use the enterprise features for which you have to convert your license type from Standard to the enterprise.
2.You use the SharePoint 2016 trial product key (valid for 180 days) and which is going to expire and you want to upgrade it to your regular key.
In that type of situation, you do not need to uninstall the SharePoint and reinstall with the correct key, rather you just need the valid key. From central admin, you can update the product key from trial to regular or from standard to enterprise edition of the SharePoint. SharePoint Binaries are same for the Standard or enterprise or even trail version.
Most important thing, keep in mind, you can go from lower version to higher but cannot go from Higher to lower.
If you have SharePoint Standard then you can upgrade it to SharePoint Enterprise
If you are on SharePoint Standard Trail then you can go regular SharePoint Standard or Enterprise
If you are in the SharePoint Enterprise edition then you cannot go to SharePoint standard or trail.
If you are on SharePoint Enterprise Trail then you can go only regular SharePoint Enterprise edition.
Going from Higher to lower version. You have to install SharePoint with the standard product key on the new server. From existing farm, turn off the enterprise features from site collection then restore it to new standard farm. This method is not supported, as this method can bring some orphan stuff with it. The best way is to use 3rd party tool or manually move the content to new farm.
Note: Product key cannot be retrieved from SharePoint once configured it, you have to store it secure place manually. Even if you lost the key it really does not matter, as long as you give the proof to MSFT that you hold the valid licensing, which covers servers and users.

As per my experience, it is really great if we perform the IIS reset on the all the servers in the farm. So that nothing stuck in the cache.
This concludes the session and we successfully convert the license type from Standard to an enterprise.
