Hi,

I am sorry if this is the wrong place to place this posting and would appreciate your recommendation as to the best place to post it to get an answer.

On our development server, our Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition Evaluation Copy license is going to expire soon. We have all the necessary disks to update the system to the full version. Is there a recommended way to upgrade to the complete version of Windows 2003 so that we preserve our settings and all of the installed software? Or is there a simpler way to update the license without reinstalling? Also, are there any patches to be sure to install?

Thanks,
Laurie
