Exchange Server 2007 documentation.When you start the Exchange console, you get a list of all unlicensed servers and the number of days left for the trial to expire.

Unlike previous versions of Exchange, the trial versions can be upgraded to fully functional versions by simply adding a product key. This can be done easily from the console by right-clicking the server in Server Configuration, and selecting Enter Product Key [screenshot].
From the Exchange shell, you can enter the product key using the set-ExchangeServer commandlet:
set-ExchangeServer SERVERNAME -ProductKey aaaaa-aaaaa-aaaaa-aaaaa-aaaaa
To get a list of all Exchange Server 2007 servers and their product keys and trial status, including number of days left:
get-ExchangeServer | select name,ProductID,*trial*
(Note: I typically format this as a list rather than a default table, particularly for a smaller number of objects - the table tends to chop off bits of a field when you have too many fields displayed:
get-ExchangeServer | select name,ProductID,*trial* | fl)
Name: E12EDGE
ProductID:
IsExchange2007TrialEdition: True
IsExpiredExchange2007TrialEdition: False
RemainingTrialPeriod: 29.19.12.55.8950288

Hi,
I am having almost similar problem.
Everytime I open the MBX/CAS server it warns for license for EDGE, which we already entered @ EDGE server.
But, when tried to enter the product key Set-ExchangeServer : An error happened while accessing registry of the specified server: The error message: "Attempted to
perform an unauthorized operation.".
Any early suggestion is welcome..

In case you didn't get an answer to your question. This is from the release notes for Exchange 2007:
A subscribed Edge Transport server might not appear as licensed to the Exchange organization
For Edge Transport servers to appear licensed, the license key must be applied on the Edge Transport server before the Edge Subscription is created. If the license key was applied after subscription, you must remove the Edge Subscription from both the Edge Transport server and the Active Directory site and start the subscription process from the beginning.

I have a server that is dying and want to transfer a license to a trial version. Possible? Also, I have 25 CALs, are they valid for the new server, meaning do they need to be moved also?
