System Center Configuration Manager 2012 Product Activation from Evaluation Mode

This seems like a very straight forward item but a lot of people get confused with how to activate ConfigMgr after installation and the 180 trial starts to run low.  Luckily this is a rather easy process and simply requires you to launch the “Configuration Manager Setup” from the start menu or start screen on your server and follow the below screenshots.

1) Launch Setup from the start menu or start screen.

4) Enter your license key and select next.  If the option to upgrade to a licensed version is not present than you have already completed this step.
