In case you have not seen this already, a hot fix has been released to fix the Service Pack 2 issue of setting your license key to a trial one. Here is the original post from Stefan.

Microsoft has released a fix for the SP2 problem that reverts the license into a Trial version after installing Service Pack 2.
