Windows Eval about to expire!!, best method of changing license ke

[Guest Win2k3 64 Bit Licensing..Critical!]

I have a windows 2003 64 Bit Evaluation Server installed running SQL2005 for

a specific application. We were forced to upgrade immediately from 32bit due

to a requirement from our outside vendor. We used the Evaluation version

until our VLK key came in. We now have the VLK and would like to upgrade the

license. How do I do this without screwing up the SQL 2005 install which is

running our application?

 

Thank you!

When you upgrade from an Evaluation version to a retail version all of your settings are maintained. To upgrade you need to attach the install media to the server, run setup, and then follow the upgrade process.
