I have recently started a new job and have found that one
of the critical servers has been built using an
Evaluation copy of Windows Server 2000.

Can anyone tell me if this server installation will cease
to function after a pre-determined period? - for example,
will it only work for 120 days?

(I am based in the UK).
 
Sounds about right.

To e-mail me, replace the DOTs in the Reply-To: address with dots!
 
If I can source a full version of the product, how should
I replace the existing installed Eval. copy?
Obviously, I'd rather not have to decommission the Server
and fully re-build it ... is there a way of simply
replacing the Eval licence with the "Full working copy
licence"?

Any help appreciated.... ! Thanks.
