Hi all, I have a trial version of Server Essentials 2012, is it possible to add a product key to make it the full retail version?

Thanks

on a side note what AV can you use? MSE doesnt seem to be supported. Reading online System Center 2012 seems to come with AV (Endpoint) but it looks like you need a doctorate to set it up!

System Center 2012 does come with Endpoint but the client licenses are not included

is that the same for Technet subscribers? Ie System Center 2012 is included in the subscription but not the client licenses? How much are they?

Sounds like you may want to look at MS Intune?

This should do what you want

Interesting but Intune AV does not support server OSes.

Kaspersky is my preference when it comes to AV
