Obviously this is a question that would have been better ask before hand =
:-)
The only way to upgrade eval to full version is to purchase the full =
retail (not upgrade version, not volume license version, not OEM =
version), run the install and it "should" maintain everything
It goes without saying to BACKUP, verify, Backup, VERIFY, I think you =
get the drift.
And you must do this before the trial expires...if the trial =
expires...you start over

Hi,
I have installed an evaluation version of Windows small business =
server 2003
premium edition along with the SQL server database that came along =
with it. I
have a application running on it. It uses .Net with sql server 2005 as =
its
backend. Is there a way I can convert the evaluation version to full =
version
without affecting the application?
Thanks
