Win 2K3 Server Eval Version
Hi, we installed Win 2K3 Server Enterprise on a server because we are under a time constraint. We were expecting the CD Key Code today, but it did not arrive. We need to roll out the server Monday.
Can we configure our server with the eval version and then enter the correct key when our key arrives or must we reinstall the entire OS and reconfigure the server? We're hoping to do the bulk of the server prepping this weekend and therfore save us some on-site time next week. We'd rather NOT OS it on-site. I'd appreciate any feedback on this. Thank you, Cliff |

No, I don't think you can do this. Once you've installed an eval version, then it will expire after the time period is up. If you need to upgrade to a complete version, I think that you have to reinstall the OS from scratch. You may find that repairing the OS with the new disk may work, but I've never tried this.
