Maybe a stupid question：If i buy a SQL Server Product key, Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Managerment expire time will not be 180 days？
Thank you very much for your answers！
Additional SQL Server features and topics not covered by specific categories
Your post is more then unclera, you talk about SQL Server and Endpoint CM at once; what exactly do you want to buy and what's the problem.
expire time will not be 180 days？
Free SQL Server Evaluation Edition expires after 180 day, but not a licensed version.

If you installed Configuration Manager as an evaluation version, after 180 days the Configuration Manager console becomes read-only. You then need to activate the product from the Site Maintenance page in Setup. At any time before or after the 180-day period, you can upgrade to a full installation.
