| I've discovered that it can be upgraded. The ISO for the developer edition has the licence key built in, so if you just run the edition upgrade it all goes very smoothly. I now have a shiny upgraded version running. For anyone who may be interested further information can be found at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143393.aspxSteve-----------Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. |
