Thanks Warren. The eval has not expired yet however, we purchased an SQL
2005 standard edition. When I downloaded the trial version originally, I
can
not recall it giving me a choice of which trial version to download
(Standard
or Enterprise). How can one confirm which trial version they are are
running.

Thanks

Upgrading and Uninstalling the Trial Software
The 180-day trial version of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition can be
upgraded to the fully licensed version of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise
Edition
without uninstalling the trial software prior to the end of the 180-day
period. If upgrading to the fully licensed version of SQL Server 2005
Standard Edition, Workgroup Edition, or Developer Edition, it is
recommended
that you uninstall the 180-day trial version of SQL Server 2005
Enterprise
Edition before installing the fully licensed version of the other
editions.
Please refer to the product documentation for information about upgrading
to
the fully licensed software.

utilize
it. However, we purchase an Open License. Is there a wey we can
upgrade
the
Eval SQL 2005 using the open license we purchase.
