How
to Enable the “Convert License type” option Under Upgrade and Migration.
Issue: “Convert License type” is grayed out
Background: Initially ,I installed foundation of sharepoint-2013
in my test lab. As you all know there are so many features not available on
Foundation version. After working some days on foundation, thought to migrate
version to SharePoint server 2013.When I try to Install server version giving
the Error . As per the experts advise trying to make My standard foundation edition
to enterprise. When I check the option it should be in disable state. After
digging much time, found way to do so.
How to Over Come: Follow the below steps to overcome
and enter License .
·
Get your IE developer tool out, and point it to
the disabled input box. You can
do that pressing F12 key
on the page of convert license type. Point to the html code that disabled input
box.Search for Disable.
·
Now you can have the line highlighted. disabled=”disabled”. Let’s change it to trick
the page.
·
I changed the name “disabled” to something as
per below.
·
Note: Once changed Directly go to “convert
License page”.dont refresh the page.
·
Now I can input my Enterprise license key to
the box. OK button is still disabled. do the same below Ok like"changed the name “disabled” to something.
·
After Ok button is enabled, click on it, the
feature for Enterprise CAL now can be unlocked without any problem.
this is a quick way to have a workaround.
Note: this is not for production use.
