Hello,
I am using a Evaluation copy of the Windows server 2003 (Enterprise edition).
Can I buy a retail version of the Windows server 2003 Enterprise edition (25 CAL) and upgrade the evaluation copy. Is there any restriction to upgrading the evaluation copy? (I don't want to lose any data/setting).

I'm not sure upgrading the time-bomb version is possible. The place to check would be with microsoft.
