| Hello,I'm new to sql 2005 and recently installed the 180 day 2005 Enterprise Eval Product, when i click Help About in the SQL Mgnt Screen it says i have 25 days untill it expires.The system has been setup by a freelance SQL contractor and its now live and fully working.So i now have bought SQL 2005 Standard software and need to activate the eval product but cant figure out how to do this.Can someone please explain my best solution here on how i can activate/license this system without loosing my data.ThanksRoger |

You can always uninstall eval server and install your copy. Afterwards you can attach your database again wiht no loss of data.The downside is that serve will not be responding during this operation.

| In that case, you are better to have a consultant to do the work. |
