MOSS SP2 Product expiration
Issue
====
When installing SP2 for MOSS 2007 the product expiration date is improperly activated. This means SharePoint will expire as though it was a trial installation 180 days after SP2 is deployed. The activation of the expiration date will not affect the normal function of SharePoint up until the expiration date passes. Furthermore, product expiration 180 days after SP2 installation will not affect customer’s data, configuration or application code but will render SharePoint inaccessible for end-users.
Resolution
=========
Microsoft is working to release a hotfix to automatically fix this issue. A manual workaround is to re-enter your Product ID number (PID) on the Convert License Type page in Central Administration. For more information and detailed steps please read this KB971620.
