| Hello,A few months ago I installed an evaluation copy of MS SQL Server 2000 on one of my servers. My company purchased the retail version, which I upgraded the server to using the instructions in their KBase article (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q281574). Basically, I installed the retail version over the eval version but selected "Upgrade" instead of "Install".Since my trial version hadn't yet expired, I don't know how to verify that the server is now using its permanent license. I'm running some mission-critical applications on this server, and so I need to ensure that the SQL server is going to stop one day after our "trial" period is over :)Thanks in advance!-Laura |

| Tim - thank you for the quick response! I actually poked around some more, and found the answer on another post:http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=44578(Sorry - I should have researched more before posting!!!) The logs show that my server is now running SQL Standard instead of SQL Enterprise Evaluation.Thank you!-Laura |
