I've got SCCM 2012 R2 installed at a client with SQL Server 2012 SP1 installed in evaluation mode (as the client could not find their install key). I've heard that SQL Server licensing is included with System Center these days, but when the client (a smaller education institution) accesses their licensing, they see a large list of SQL Server versions listed, but every version says 'This version of the product does not require a key'.
我已经在评估模式下安装了SQL Server 2012 SP1的客户端安装了SCCM 2012 R2(因为客户端无法找到他们的安装密钥)。我听说SQL Server许可最近包含在System Center中,但是当客户端(较小的教育机构)访问他们的许可时,他们会看到列出的大量SQL Server版本,但是每个版本都说'这个版本的产品不需要钥匙'。
Now I'm concerned, because leaving the installation in Evaluation mode will mean that SQL Server will fold up shop and not open after 180 days. Is there some special mechanism that bypasses licensing for SQL Server when ConfigMgr is installed? Why do I not see any valid license keys for SQL Server on the clients Software Assurance / Education licensing page?
现在我很担心,因为将安装保留在评估模式下意味着SQL Server将折叠商店并在180天后不会打开。安装ConfigMgr时是否有一些特殊机制绕过SQL Server的许可?为什么在客户端软件保障/教育许可页面上看不到SQL Server的任何有效许可证密钥?
Did I use the wrong version of SQL Server?
我使用的是错误版本的SQL Server吗?

I found the answer, for anyone else stuck in the same problem.
我找到了答案,因为其他人遇到了同样的问题。
If you use the ISO that you download from your volume license page, the SQL Server ISO should include the 'free SCCM' license baked in.
如果您使用从批量许可页面下载的ISO,则SQL Server ISO应包含烘焙的“免费SCCM”许可证。
However, if you try to run this installer side-by-side on a server with a pre-existing install, SQL Server Setup will detect the other instance of SQL and not actually display the key. It will instead revert to displaying the 'Choose Evaluation or enter key screen'.
但是,如果您尝试在具有预先存在的安装的服务器上并行运行此安装程序,SQL Server安装程序将检测SQL的另一个实例,而不是实际显示该密钥。它将改为显示“选择评估或输入关键屏幕”。
I found a way around though, wrote it up here: SCCM's SQL Stuck in Eval mode? How to fix!

In summary: download the SQL Server ISO found in the Volume License Center under System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, and run the installer on a clean server. This time you'll be able to see the pre-filled key, copy it and use this as your upgrade key using SQL Edition Upgrade from the SQL Setup. You'll get a warning stating 'Unsupported Upgrade Path' since the evaluation mode defaults to Enterprise, and the 'free' key is for Standard only, but it will still work.
总结:下载在System Center 2012 Configuration Manager下的批量许可中心中找到的SQL Server ISO,并在干净的服务器上运行安装程序。这次您将能够看到预先填充的密钥,将其复制并使用SQL Setup从SQL安装程序升级密钥作为升级密钥。您将收到一条警告,指出“不支持的升级路径”,因为评估模式默认为Enterprise,而“免费”键仅适用于标准,但它仍然有效。
