Detailed Description

The Set-SCOMLicense cmdlet sets the System Center 2012 – Operations Manager product license level and removes the evaluation expiration timeout. To view the current license terms, use the Get-SCOMLicense cmdlet. You can also view the license information in the Operations Console Help About dialog box.

By default, this cmdlet uses the active persistent connection to a management group. Use the SCSession parameter to specify a different persistent connection. You can create a temporary connection to a management group by using the ComputerName and Credential parameters. For more information, type Get-Help about_OpsMgr_Connections.

After you enter a license key, restart the System Center Data Access Service on all of your Operations Manager management servers.
