What I understand is that there is a restriction of upgrading a SQL server 2012 cluster from evaluation edition to licensed standard editon.
Is there a similar limitation for upgrade from cluster evaluation editon to licensed enterprise edition. Is no , can you please provide a link for the upgrade process

Thanks , however as per the 1st Link posted by you in SQL Server 2012 Edition Upgrade Tab it states :
Upgrading from Evaluation Enterprise (a free edition) to any of the paid editions is supported for stand-alone installations, but is not supported for clustered installations.
However below that it states only limitation of SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Evaluation to SQL Server 2012 Standard
:
Changing the edition of a SQL Server 2012 failover cluster is limited. The following scenarios are not supported for SQL Server 2012 failover clusters:
•
SQL Server 2012 Enterprise to SQL Server 2012 Developer, Standard, or Enterprise Evaluation.
•
SQL Server 2012 Developer to SQL Server 2012 Standard or Enterprise Evaluation.
•
SQL Server 2012 Standard to SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Evaluation.
•
SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Evaluation to SQL Server 2012 Standard
Hence the confusion
