Status: offline 		After installing Exchange 2007 Standard edition (but luckily not yet migrated many mailboxes) the company has now decided they want to investigate the Unified Messaging. Have put the Enterprise CD in and added the Unified Messaging role and rebooted.
Have ran "Get-ExchangeServer | fl name,edition,admindisplayversion" in Powershell, which comes back as Standard still so assuming I now need to add the licence key for Enterprise.  When I highlight the server in "Server Configuration" there is no option to add the key anymore or to amend.

Can you upgrade this way? I could not find anything anywhere for this scenario.

When i am following out this article
How to make a upgrade in place of Exchange 2007 Standard to Exchange 2007 Enterprise
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/556026

I am not able to enter Enter Product Key
 
 
But i guess this should work for

Set-ExchangeServer -Identity <ServerIdParameter> [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-ErrorReportingEnabled <Nullable>] [-ProductKey <ProductKey>] [-StaticConfigDomainController <String>] [-StaticDomainControllers <MultiValuedProperty>] [-StaticExcludedDomainControllers <MultiValuedProperty>] [-StaticGlobalCatalogs <MultiValuedProperty>]

Set-ExchangeServer [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-ErrorReportingEnabled <Nullable>] [-Instance <ExchangeServer>] [-ProductKey <ProductKey>] [-StaticConfigDomainController <String>] [-StaticDomainControllers <MultiValuedProperty>] [-StaticExcludedDomainControllers <MultiValuedProperty>] [-StaticGlobalCatalogs <MultiValuedProperty>]

See this link for better understanding
Enter Product Key Wizard > Enter Product Key Page (RTM)

Set-ExchangeServer (RTM)

Just out of interest though, if I did want to upgrade to make use of extra storage group capacity can it be upgraded this way.
