We have several evaluation versions of Windows 2003 server running and have new legit product license keys for them and need to change over to the licensed version. How do you change the product key from eval to licensed? Thanks

You have to do a Repair Upgrade.

Insert Windows Server CD and reboot from CDROM

Keep going for install. When it search in the hard disk the existing Windows Server, then Press R for Repair.

And that's it.
