Recently, I wanted to upgrade my Configuration Manager from the evaluation version to a full version, but I was unable to due to the following error discussed in this article. Therefore, we will fix “Perform Site Maintenance or reset this site” greyed out. Please see how to Fix Keep personal files and apps option greyed out during Upgrade, How to use the Reliability Monitor in Windows, and How to fix Task Scheduler Service Greyed Out in Service MMC.
The image below shows that the evaluation licence has expired. This is because, when you install Configuration Manager as an evaluation version, after 180 days the Configuration Manager console becomes read-only.
You will need to activate the product from the Site Maintenance page in Setup. At any time before or after the 180-day period. Please follow along on how to days upgrade to a full installation.
