Microsoft says:

This time-limited release of Windows Server 2008 Beta 3 will expire on
April 7, 2008. After this time, you will need to uninstall the software
or upgrade to a later release or a fully licensed version of Windows
Server 2008.

How upgrade to version BETA 4 or RTM will run - I would like not to lost
information, installed programs etc.

however with vistait worked... with longhorn server I dont know if it will
work for sure

Beta software is meant for testing not a production server. Storing data you
need on a server using beta software is a recipe for disaster. There is no
guarantee even that backups done with a beta version will be readable with
the RTM version.
