Just like previous versions of Operations Manager, all SCOM deployments are installed as “Evaluation Version” which is a 180 trial.  You DON’T want to forget about this and have your production and lab deployments time-bomb on you down the road.

To see your current license, in PowerShell on a SCOM server:

Get-SCOMManagementGroup | ft skuforlicense, timeofexpiration -a

In order to set your license – you just need to run the Set-SCOMLicense cmdlet.  This is documented here:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/systemcenter/systemcenter2016/operationsmanager/vlatest/set-scomlicense

 

Two things:

1.  You need to get your license key, from whomever keeps that information for your company.

2.  You MUST run this cmdlet in a PowerShell sessions launched “As an administrator” as this will need access to write to the registry.

 

Run this command ONE time on ANY management server…..

Set-SCOMLicense -ProductId ‘99999-99999-99999-99999-99999’

…… where you change the example key above to your key.

You should restart the PowerShell session, then run the command to get the license again.

(Note:  You might have to restart you management server services or reboot the management server before you see this take effect)
