Hi Prajwal,

Thank you so much for the information provided, do we need to run the setup file(splash.hta) on existing sccm 2012 sp2 server (OR) we have any update bundle??

Please suggest and give the guidelines to follow while upgrading.

Kind Regards

Hi Prajwal,

I've tried to upgrade to System Center 2016 from SCCM 2012 SP2, Downloaded files from microsoft website and the validity is showing as 180 days. But while upgrading the server in evaluation installation process by selecting "Current Branch" it is asking to enter the product key?? and the "install the evaluation edition of this product" radio button is grayed out????

Can this upgrade possible?

Please suggest..

Regards

Hi Prajwal,

It is done on lab setup. I just got to know that my existing sccm 2012 is licensed version and now tried to upgrade with evaluation version so thats why i've got the above errors. Is there any other way to upgrade it??
