Default How to convert SQL Server 2008 trail version? - 12-22-2009 , 10:50 AM






Hello All,

I installed SQL Server 2008 Ent 64 bit TRAIL version on my test environment
and it will expired soon. I need to convert the trail version into MSDN
subscription license.
Does anybody know how to do it? I don't want to fresh install SQL server
database again.

Just run Setup, and select upgrade. It is possible to upgrade from
Evaluation Edition to all other editions but Express.
