While trying to upgrade from SharePoint Server 2010 to SharePoint Enterprise 2010, I kept getting the following blocking error:

An error occurred while enabling Enterprise features. Refer to the event logs on your server machines for more details.

This happened to me on a testing server where SharePoint is installed on the domain controller together with the SQL database.

ULS Log notifications are:

Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.Administration.SkuUpgradeJobException: Post setup configuration failed when attempting post setup configuration task -cmd services -install -cmd installfeatures
at Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.Administration.SkuUpgradeJob.Execute(SPJobState jobState)

and

I resolved this error by changing the SharePoint 2010 Timer account to a local administrator account.

At first it was configured to use my SharePoint Farm Account "SP_Farm". I changed the SharePoint 2010 Timer account to log on as "Local System" and retried upgrading the SharePoint license. This time it worked.

After the upgrade I reconfigured the SharePoint 2010 Timer account to log on as SP_Farm.
