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.)

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 ?
