How to convert evaluation edition of SCCM 2007 SP2 to non-evaluation?
Dear all, I've implemented SCCM 2007 SP2 with R3 in a testing environment for customer. It was done using evaluation media from Microsoft. How do we convert this evalution edition into non-eval full version? I've been provided with non-eval media from customer's Microsoft channel. Any step by step instructions, web links about this topic would be helpful. Thanks. Regards, Shahzad.

Just run an in-place install/upgrade from the licensed media. Not much to it.Jason | http://blog.configmgrftw.com | Twitter @JasonSandys

Hi Jason, Thanks for the answer. I started the setup and it did mention an upgrade option, went through all steps before it reaches "Setting Summary"...one step before setup starts making change. A message poped up saying "Configuration Manager database is larger than 3.0 GB do you wish to continue with upgrade?" I click "Yes" but it did not proceed to show setup progress. I waited considerably long time to see if setup changes state but nothing happened. SCCM 2007 site database is hosted on SQL Server 2005 x64 on a remote Srever 2008 R2 x64 box. Any idea how could I make setup proceed with upgrade? I stopped all services prior to starting setup. ConfigMgrSetup.log showed following entires: <05-02-2012 09:49:08> Running test query. <05-02-2012 09:49:08> Sql version is 9.0, 9.00.5259.00. <05-02-2012 09:49:08> The size of the existing ConfigMgr or SMS database is 3.0 gigabytes. Setup may take some time to upgrade the database. <05-02-2012 09:49:12> Starting evaluation process. <05-02-2012 09:49:12> Entry: KillUserApps() <05-02-2012 09:49:12> AdjustTokenPrivileges failed with 1300 <05-02-2012 09:49:12> Could not verify an open MMC instance due to the error. <05-02-2012 09:49:12> Exiting ConfigMgr installation wizard.
