Hi, I installed the Evaluation Version of SQL 2008 R2 (Standard) got it set up and working just the way we wanted it. We then decided to purchase the full copy of SQL 2008 R2 (Standard) through our normal reseller channel. According to the Evaluation Version to upgrade to a 'Full' version we nneded to enter a license key however, When we got the license from our Volume License Reseller there was no License Key. We called Microsoft License Support who states that there is no key required for SQL Server 2008 R2 (Standard). My call was then redirected to Customer Service who came to the same conclusion....
They are telling me that my only option is to uninstall and reinstall. Unfortunately we have invested so much time and effort configuring this we would have to have to do it all over...
Can anyone assist me with this issue? We are running the 64-Bit Version of SQL Server 2008 R2 (Standard). We are installing it on a Windows Server 2008 Standard 64-Bit.
