We are not not able to convert MOSS 2007 Standard to MOSS 2007 Enterprise. The key is a valid one.

I'm wondering if you already had a MOSS 2007 Enterprise installation but didn't know it. (Idea comes from "already exists under the parent ") SP 2010 "FAQ" (mainly useful links): http://wssv4faq.mindsharp.com/default.aspx WSS3/MOSS FAQ (FAQ and Links) http://wssv3faq.mindsharp.com/default.aspx Both also have links to extensive book lists and to (free) on-line chapters

Yes and No. Although it's difficult to find these days, there once was a download of a Trial edition and when that was installed it was possible to decide between Standard and Enterprise. However the trial period would have expired a long time ago if the Trial edition was downloaded and immediately installed, so this objection is only if the trial file was downloaded but then saved for a year or two before being used. Not therefore too likely.SP 2010 "FAQ" (mainly useful links): http://wssv4faq.mindsharp.com/default.aspx WSS3/MOSS FAQ (FAQ and Links) http://wssv3faq.mindsharp.com/default.aspx Both also have links to extensive book lists and to (free) on-line chapters

Sorry guys... I was on Vacation. Thanks for the replies Back to the issue. The enterprise license is not activated.

We used the same trial version in other machines and it got upgraded to enterprise.

Central Administration > Operations > Timer Job Definitions >Removed Trial Conversion Job Restarted the WSS Timer service (In the Services MMC) Restarted IIS Ran configuration wizard again. Central Administration > Operations > Convert License Type And it worked !!!
