Hello Klemens,

Check out if possible:

open system properties with WINDOWS+Break. down on the side you can maybe change the PRODUCT KEY and reactivate.

Hi,

did anyone here upgrade his evaluation copy of WIN 2008 Server into a
regular Lizense? How to do? Do I have to delete the whole installation
and reinstall the server and all installed programms and data? Or do I
have just to put in a lizense key somewhere? Something else to do
while upgrading?

Thank you for any help.

Klemens
