How to Configure the Exchange Server 2010 Product Key

May 22, 2010 by Paul Cunningham 2 Comments

Your Exchange server will run for 120 days without a product key but you should enter one as soon as possible and certainly before placing the server into production.

Launch the Exchange Management Console from the Start Menu of the server.  A warning will appear listing each Exchange server that is currently unlicensed.  Click OK to clear the warning.

In the left pane of the Exchange Management Console navigate to Server Configuration.  Right-click the server in the middle pane and choose Enter Product key.

You will see a message when the Product Key has been applied warning you that the change does not take effect until the Information Store service is restarted.  Close the warning dialog box.

You can also use the Exchange Management Shell to enter the product key for multiple Exchange servers at once.

    Hi Paul,
    Nice tutorial by the way and it’s always good to come her and learn…
    I’ve got a question, what’s about viewing a product key on Exchange 2010 ?

    Thanks in advance,
    Dmk
