Before you log on to the VMM server that you deployed earlier today, you receive an error that the evaluation version has expired

Because this is my lab environment, I didn't enter the key when I deployed it, and it's always been a trial version. Logged in today is told that it has expired and cannot log in. But I don't want to start from scratch to deploy VMM. So what can we do to keep using it?

My first thought was to enter the key for activation, but because the VMM console was unable to open, the key could not be activated. Find the VMM program in the control Panel to see if there are any changes to the key by running the VMM Setup program like office.

However, running VMM Setup discovers only the options that are uninstalled,

Is it only possible to install from the beginning?

In fact, during the uninstallation process, the database option chooses to retain

Then click Uninstall

The uninstallation is complete, but the database is still in, so some of the original configuration information remains in the database.

After the uninstallation is complete, rerun the VMM setup, enter the key in the product registration information, and be sure to enter the key, or you will not be able to log in as soon as the installation is complete, and the evaluation version has expired.

Enter the original database server in the database configuration options and choose to use the existing database

Once the installation is complete, the original configuration information is still there.
