[dba-SQLServer] Uprading SQL Server 2000 Evaluation To SQL Server 2000 Standard

Hi Paul:

Two parallel running systems is my recommendation. Install the second
version. Port the details and then when you are sure the second version is
running correctly the first version can be safely removed. (I have never had
two versions of the same SQL running on the same machine but there should be
no issues as long as they are named differently.)

2000 Standard

To all,

As an emergency about one month back we installed the SQL Server 2000
evaluation edition onto one of our servers, we now have a copy of SQL
Server 2000 standard edition.  Can someone tell me the best way to go
about installing it i.e. will it let me upgrade the evaluation edition
or should I install as a new instance etc and then copy the database's
across and uninstall the evaluation edition ?
