Advanced Admin Console 2011 Licensing
The Advanced Admin Console 2011 AddIn is free for use on Windows Home Server 2011 and Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials if it’s not domain joined. However, on Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials and domain-joined Windows Storage Server 2008 Essentials (= business usage scenarios) the Advanced Admin Console 2011 AddIn can only be used for 30 days.
After that period, business users must either purchase a license or uninstall the AddIn. On Windows Home Server 2011 and non-domain-joined Windows Storage Server 2008 R2, the Advanced Admin Console 2011 AddIn will work until after the trial period but switch to a mode of operation in which it will no longer expose its full feature set.

Licenses can be purchased directly from within the Advanced Admin Console 2011 AddIn. Simply click the small “Info”-Icon on the Task Panel to make the About Screen appear:
