Enter Product Key

  • Artikkeli

 

Applies to: Exchange Server 2010 SP3, Exchange Server 2010 SP2

Use the Enter Product Key wizard to enter a product key for a server running Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 that doesn't already have a product key configured.

When you install Exchange 2010, it's unlicensed. This is also known as a trial edition. The trial edition expires 120 days after the date of installation. A server that is unlicensed functions as an Exchange Standard Edition server, but it isn't eligible for support from Microsoft support services. When you start the Exchange Management Console, if you have Exchange 2010 servers in your organization that are unlicensed, Exchange displays a list of all unlicensed Exchange 2010 servers and the number of days that are remaining until the trial edition expires. If you have Exchange 2010 servers for which the trial edition has expired, Exchange also displays a separate warning for each expired server.

After you complete the Enter Product Key wizard, you must restart the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service so that the change is applied. Depending on the product key that you enter, Exchange will determine if the server is running the Standard Edition or Enterprise Edition of Exchange 2010 and will update any necessary settings.
