Hi JW
You need to create a support case at Microsoft, as they can provide the utility to change the eval.

I too was frustrated with the performance of the SSP and Console. Have you looked into our HTML 5 Analyst Web Portal, and Self-Service Portal? Both are combined to access from one web site.

Kind of sad that this is all that is "new" in Service Manager when a new HTML5 based portal that serves the end users and a web based console is so desperately needed.Anonymous

I agree. Service Manager is terrible right now. I'd rather go and use spiceworks and save myself the headache and embarrasement of this system. In theory, great idea; in reality, terrible to use and manage.Anonymous

Agreed. All I hear from my users is how much better ServiceNow is. It's very hard to justify Service Manager as it exists today.Anonymous

I use Service Manager and it is great. Whoever wrote above is obviously blogging for ServiceNow!!! "Mr Terrible" Service Manager is by far streets ahead of all other Service Desks. It enables data driven processes where other service desks cannot build a CMDB.Anonymous

Peter, not blogging for ServiceNow at all. I'm one of the few in my org trying to get the product up and running but am let down by a lackluster portal and console. Our comments are valid with basically no improvements made in the R2 timeframe for the product and there being very real issues with console performance today.Anonymous

Also FYI - A better performing HTML 5 front-end is also supposed to be coming for Service Manager... Internal politics at Microsoft resulted in them selecting Silverlight - against the recommendations of the product team. MS was trying to push its Silverlight technology... which it has now abandoned. They actually came to the product team about six weeks from launch and asked if they could ditch the Silverlight client and replace it with HTML 5 - which obviously was impossible to pull off...Anonymous

So wait.. I'm confused with the upgrade path from SCSM Sp1 CU4.
CU6 says that it is for Service Manager 2012 Sp1
Service manager 2012 R2 "includes some updates from CU4" (no mention of CU6)
CU4 is superseded by CU6
So, should the correct upgrade path be:
SCSM SP1 CU4 --> SCSM SP1 CU6 --> SCSM R2?
or
Can I apply the R2 update on top of SP1 Cu4 making the product then become SCSM R2 SP1 CU4?
(Meaning that when CU8 "for SCSM SP1" comes out it will still apply to BOTH Sp1 and R2 products...)Anonymous

Does anyone know how to accomplish bug fix #1 on the list?
"SM setup does not allow change from evaluation to licensed"
I urgently need to do this.Anonymous

From this blog post I read that "SM setup does not allow change from evaluation to licensed" issue is fixed in SCSM 2012 R2. How do we add a license key? I'm running SCSM 2012 R2 Eval.
Your response will be a great help to solve a critical problem.Anonymous

Vikas - as Thomas states, raise a support case and this can be handled for you.Anonymous

Is it supported to install the new portal on the same server as the service manager server.
Any recommandation/best practices for fault tolerance?
