Is my CRM 2011 server licenced or on trial?

There is no obvious way to determine if you CRM server is using a trial licence key or a full licence key. You can infer if you are on trial or not bu looking in Deployment Manager on the CRM Server.

An unregistered CRM 2011 installation will show a Product ID in Deployment Manager with the format:
XXXXX-010-XXXXXXX-XXXXX

A registered installation will show Product ID in the format:
XXXXX-06X-XXXXXXX-XXXXX

If you want further reassuramce, you can confirm if the key you have installed is a full key by attempting to change it to a trial Licence Key via “Change Product Key” in deployment Manager. If a full key has previously been applied, you will recieve an error if you try to change it to a trial key.

Trial keys:

• Microsoft Dynamics CRM Workgroup Server 2011 (5 CAL limit): H84KC-JH8DF-7PDYK-TXBXR-2RMMT
• Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server 2011 (no CAL limit): MQM2H-JYYRB-RRD6J-8WBBC-CVBD3
