SQL 2008 Enterprise Eval expired

  • SQL 2008 Enterprise Eval has expired. I installed licensed version on same machine but received "expired" message when I tried to start SSMS. So, I uninstalled all instances of SQL and tried licensed version again. Same error. Tweaked registry key (Microsoft\MicrosoftSQL Server\100\Configuration State CommonFiles from 1 to 3) as suggested on a number of sites and reinstalled licensed product. Same error. I'm stuck. Any help appreciated.

  • Uh oh, 36 views, no suggestions. I hope things pick up when everyone returns to work Monday.

  • Problem solved. An Edition upgrade is not the same as an install. I finally found it under configuaration manager-Installation Center-Maintenance. The Edition upgrade solved the problem.
