SharePoint 2010 Bug: The Trial Period for this product has expired

Hey guys,

today i came across this annoying error. I couldn't believe that this has happened.

We only updated the server with Office Web Apps and after running the configuration wizard, each site i try to open failed with the following error message:

 

I searched the web and found a lot of post's, here are my results:

I'll tried first the official solution from an MS Guy (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepoint2010setup/thread/644ab342-4eaa-468c-95c1-f345a4f65f26/)

  • Go To Central Administration
  • Monitoring
  • Review rule Definition
  • Search for the rule "Trial period for this product is about to expire"
  • Disable this rule
  • iisreset

But this solution was not helpfull in my case, so i tried the other one I found:

  • Open IIS Management Console
  • Go to the Application Pool Page
  • look which users has been used for SharePoint
  • add this users to the local administration group
  • iisreset

The second solution helped in my case. If you have other solutions for this Bug please let me know, then i will update this post :)

cheers

Thanks, the same error happened in my case, the post was helpful :)

Btw, have you some ideas about tools of capacity sizing and planning for a large SP2010 deployment.

I know for Exchange 2010 there are many tools, spreadsheets, Web Apps..which help for infrastructure sizing.

Thank you

as usual, in SharePoint there are 12 ways to do everything.  this is the one that actually worked for me.  I appreciate the time you took to post the info.
