 To set the product key, use the Set-SCOMLicense cmdlet in PowerShell. To use the Set-SCOMLicense cmdlet you need to use elevated permissions. (Run as Administrator).

1. Open PowerShell as an Administrator
2. Load the OperationsManager Module (import-module operationsmanager)
3. Connect to your ManagementGroup (New-SCOMManagementGroupConnection)
4. Use Set-SCOMLicense -ProductId "yourlicensekey“
5. To check if changes were executed run Get-SCOMManagementGroup | ft skuforlicense, version, timeofexpiration –a 

 

Note: This may require a reboot after running in order to register correctly.
