The trial period for this product has expired on SharePoint

                         

Issue: While working on SharePoint 2013 in My test lab, all of surprise when I browse the site, it was shown an error message "The trial period for this product has expired."

Cause: There are some of the reasons that we see the error, below are the ones that cause the error.

• SharePoint that we use is trailed version and it was expired.
• Issue with  Central Administrator Application pool Account
• issue with my registry.

Solution:

1.    SharePoint that we use is trailed version and it was expired

In this case, we should go to licensed version or uninstall SharePoint totally and install again to use the trail version for some days.

2.    Issue with  Central Administrator Application pool Account

Ensure that the Central Administrator Application pool is running with the Local admin account not with the Network Administrator.

Go to Run--> inetmgr-->Application Pools--> SharePoint Central Administrator--> Advanced Settings--> Identity

Or add the current application pool identity account to local Administrator group.

Ensure to do Run "iisreset"   

3.    issue with my registry.

If seeing the same issue after applying the above solutions. Then it should be some configuration issue.

Run the SharePoint PSConfiguration wizard and check.

Or

Run psconfig.exe -cmd secureresources and check.
