Exchange SE product key Clarity
Hi All, After installing the Exchange SE server, the following parameters appeared when I ran the command. Can we leave these statuses as they are until Microsoft provides the new CU and product key...

Hi,
Yes, you can safely leave the server in this state until Microsoft releases the new CU and provides the Exchange SE product key. The evaluation period has not expired.
A product key has not been entered (ProductID is blank).
Trial period = 180 days
Renewable only with entering a valid product key later
Set-ExchangeServer -Identity "ServerName" -ProductKey XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
After that, the server will show:
StandardEdition or EnterpriseEdition
IsExchangeTrialEdition = False
ProductID populated
restart Exchange Information Store service.
