Convert System Center 2012 from Evaluation to Full Product Version
This guide will help you though the process of converting a System Center 2012 Configuration Manager (SCCM) Evaluation, to a Full Product Version.
From the start menu navigate to All Programs -> Microsoft System Center 2012 -> Configuration Manager, and select Configuration Manager Setup.
Select Perform site maintenance or reset this Site, and click Next.
Select Convert from Evaluation to Full Product Version, and enter your 25-character product key, and click Next.
Volume License Customers can find the product key here: https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/servicecenter/default.aspx
(AFAIK all volume license customers has the same key for all System Center 2012 products).
Accept the license terms, and you’re done…
Enjoy.

Just a heads up to others, be sure you are logged in with original admin account that was used to install SCCM. I had some issues trying to convert with a secondary user with the “Full Administrator” Security Role. It would take the key but never change the Eval status in the program window. I found the following error in the configmgrsetup.log that clued me into permissions issue.
*** [42000][229][Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0][SQL Server]The UPDATE permission was denied on the object ‘SetupInfo’, database ‘CM_TST’, schema ‘dbo’.
ERROR: Failed to update table SetupInfo.Converted just fine after logging into the original admin account that i used to install System Center
INFO: Successfully Converted from Evaluation to Full Product Version.

The only option I get when I try and run the install is to uninstall or recover
