During some client testing operations I installed some months ago a version of System Center Operation Manager 2012 on a Virtual Machine.
\nToday I try to open this version of SCOM to perform some new tests and I had the surprise to receive a beautiful error message:<\/p>\n

\"b2ap3_thumbnail_Scom_SetLicense1.jpg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In fact, I never thought to verify that my version was licensed or not and as SCOM gives by default an evaluation period of 180 days I don’t face the problem before…
\nI decided to download the new version of SCOM 2012 R2, as I prefer to have the last version, and install it.
\nBy default the installation center tells me that it will upgrade my old version which is a good point.
\nAfter the upgrade, SCOM 2012 R2 raises a warning which specifies to not forget to use the PowerShell cmdlet Set-SCOMLicense to license the current version… This was that I forget last time!!<\/p>\n

\"b2ap3_thumbnail_Scom_SetLicense2.jpg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To check the version of my fresh installation, I opened the Operations Manager Shell and then I ran the following command:<\/p>\n

\"b2ap3_thumbnail_Scom_SetLicense3.jpg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Get-SCOMManagementGroup | select SkuForProduct, skuforlicense, version, timeofexpiration<\/samp><\/p>\n

\"b2ap3_thumbnail_Scom_SetLicense4.jpg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At this point, I see that I have an Evaluation version of SCOM which will expire the third of August, so in six months.
\nTo avoid the same disillusion than today, I decided to set my license key immediately with the following command:<\/p>\n

Set-SCOMLicense -ProductId ‘?????-?????-?????-?????-?????’<\/samp><\/p>\n

\"b2ap3_thumbnail_Scom_SetLicense5.jpg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A confirmation is asked before validating the license key.
\nI can now execute a second time my first query to check if the license key is registered:<\/p>\n

\"b2ap3_thumbnail_Scom_SetLicense6.jpg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, the license’s term is Retail and the expiration date is longer than I will never live \ud83d\ude09
\nI can also check directly in the Help\/About menu of SCOM to see the same.<\/p>\n

See you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
