Introduction |
With TMG Server 2010, upgrading from TMG 2010 Standard
Edition to Enterprise Edition is a very easy step. You
do not have to uninstall the Standard Edition and then
import the policies/configuration that you've had exported
previously into your newly installed Enterprise Edition.
The upgrade process is simply done by entering the Enterprise
Edition product key inside the Standard Edition
Management console. Let's see how.

I have installed TMG 2010 Standard
Edition, and now will upgrade it to Enterprise Edition,
to do this, follow the below steps:
-
Open TMG Server 2010 management console,
and from the left pane, click on the
System node

-
From the middle pane , click on your
server's name to become selected, and
then from the right side pane, under the
Tasks tab, click on
Upgrade to Enterprise Edition
as shown below.

-
The Server properties page will open,
under the Product ID
tab, click on the Upgrade To
Enterprise Edition...

-
The Product Key Entry
page will open, where here you should
enter the product key for Forefront TMG
Server 2010 Enterprise Edition.
Once you type the product key, click on
the OK bytton.

-
You will get back to the server
properties page, and as you can notice,
the Product ID has changed and also the
Production Edition is now Enterprise.
Click OK

-
One last step is remaining to completely
upgrade TMG 2010 Standard to Enterprise,
and this is to confirm the changes by
clicking on the Apply
Button.
As you can see, from the upper right
side, the word Standard
is now changed to Enterprise,
and in the right pane, under the
Tasks tab, the option
Upgrade to Enterprise has been
removed after you used it.
Note : If for some
reason you want to cancel the changes,
then click on the Discard
button and make sure to close the
management console.

Summary
The
process of upgrading TMG Server 2010 Standard
Edition to Enterprise Edition is very easy. Neither
reinstallation is required nor re-importing policies. It is simply done by typing the Enterprise Edition
product key, and instantly the Enterprise Edition
features will become available.
