Installing WDM Workgroup Issue
Installing WDM Workgroup Issue
Good Day,
I have downloaded WDM 5.0 GA to use the WDM Workgroup so I can just use the free version, When I install, I pick use the free version, finish the install, then it tells me I am using the Enterprise 30 day trail. I can't get it to use the free version.
Anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Simon_FlexIT

Hello!
Based on my own installation experience, you aren't doing anything wrong at all - you just need to register your trial license to "unlock" the free Workgroup version. After I installed WDM Workgroup I saw the same message about the 30-day trial of Enterprise.
In your WDM, go to Configuration Manager > Licensing. Double-click the license entry found there and follow the on-screen prompts to go online and register your product. IIRC you will see you have a Sale Key and a Nonactivated Key, enter both of these on the registration website and it will give you an Activation Code to complete the free registration of WDM Workgroup.
This worked fine for me. Note that you must do it within the 30 day trial period or you'll have to remove WDM and start all over again.
Hope this helps!
