Hi,
I have question is about how to confirm if my Windows Server 2012 and (or) sharepoint 2013 are both Eval or not and if they are expired?
I am told that sharepoint server 2013 need to be licensed.
My situation:
I have a Windows Server 2012 server and when I remote into it >> I see below lines on server desktop on lower right side.
Windows Server 2012 Standard Evaluation
Windows License Valid for 143 days
Build 9200
Also, I am told that the sharepoint server 2013 Eval is expired and needs to be licensed (for which I have the key)
But When I access the registry to find the SharePoint version>>
HKLM >> Software >> Microsoft >> Shared Tools >> Web Server Extensions >> 15.0 >> WSS >> Installed Products >>
298A586A-E3C1-42F0-AFE0-4BCFDC2E7CD0 - (which corresponds to) SharePoint Server 2013 Enterprise Preview
9FF54EBC-8C12-47D7-854F-3865D4BE8118 - (which corresponds to) SharePoint Foundation 2013
When I access sharepoint website most of the links work just fine whereas couple of links messages about product being expired.
My question is:
Q1. From above registry key >> Is my sharepoint version : SharePoint Server 2013 Enterprise Preview or SharePoint Foundation 2013 ?
Q2. Are both my Windows Server 2012 and SharePoint 2013 needs to be licensed separately?
Q3. If I don't add license key to sharepoint, will it keep working they way it is or will it freeze someday?
Please suggest.
Thanks
