SCOM 2012 Showing as Evaluation

I ran into an issue where I noticed the installed version of SCOM 2012 said it was an evaluation edition. This post will show how to move the SCOM 2012 install from evaluation to retail.


This can be accomplished through the following steps.

1.First to find out how much time is left on the evaluation version open the Operations Manager Shell and run the following command:

Get-SCOMManagementGroup

Then to fix the issue:
Open the Operations Manager PowerShell

Type in the following command:

Set-SCOMLicense –ProductId .

Click “Y”

The command will only take a few seconds to complete.

Finally restart the server, do this on every management server

Cheers!
