1- how can i convert the Evalutaion copy of SCCM from evaluation copy to fully licensed version?? i cant find a place to put the CD KEY in SCCM to convert it....
2- do we have to have an extra license for the number of clients that the SCCM is going to manage???

- Hi,
1) Yes you can "upgrade" the eval copy - http://www.faqshop.com/configmgr2007/default.htm?http://www.faqshop.com/configmgr2007/instconfig/issvrs.htm#Can_I_upgrade_from_an_evaluation_copy_to_a_full
2) You need at ConfigMgr licens for each client and server - http://www.microsoft.com/systemcenter/configurationmanager/en/us/pricing-licensing.aspx

- Thank You for your reply
and as far i understood
i can now work with SCCM SP1 Eval Copy and once i get the licensed CD i just run it and select upgrade and the Eval copy will be licensed
am i right????
also regarding the licens for each client, in case i didnt buy that license for each client, is it going to prevent me from any functionality or option in the SCCM? or its just related to auditing and legally????
waiting your reply
thank you
Ahmad Ramadan AbaYazeed - The trial version will work without any limitations (except that it will expire).
Dear Torsten
i understand that the eval version will not have any limitation and its the same as the licensed version
but what i meant if i didnt buy license for Clients according to the link mentioned above, will be there any limitations????
Thank you
Kind Regards
Waiting your reply
Ahmad Ramadan AbaYazeed- No technical limitations.
