After applying any updates, run the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard or "psconfig –cmd upgrade –inplace b2b -wait” in command line. This needs to be done on every server in the farm with SharePoint installed and the version of content databases should be 12.0.0.6421 after successfully applying SP2. 

During the installation of the 2007 Microsoft Office servers Service Pack 2, a product expiration date is activated incorrectly. This means that your SharePoint will expire 180 days after Service Pack 2 is deployed, as if it were a trial installation. The activation of the expiration date will not affect the regular function of these products until the expiration date passes, 180 days after Service Pack 2 is deployed. If the product expires, it will not affect data, configuration, or application code. However, it will make the Office Server product inaccessible for end-users. (More information can be found here: KB Article 971620). Microsoft already released updates to resolve this issue and below are download lins:

Update for 2007 Microsoft Office Servers (KB971620), 32-Bit Edition
