    As some of you might know I recently passed my SQL Server 2008 Developer exam (70-433). All the time I was studying i used the Enterpise Edition. However the edition I have is a limited one, in the sense that the license will expire after 180 days.

    Now, if I buy the Developer Edition, what am I supposed to do next?

    Uninstall the enteprise edition and install the dev edition?

    Is there a smart work around here? cause I really don't feel like messing up my configuration........

    Cheers,

    Henk.

    That's essentially it. Uninstall. Install different edition.

    If you can't explain to another person how the code that you're copying from the internet works, then DON'T USE IT on a production system! After all, you will be the one supporting it!

    FYI: On New years eve all of a sudden my license expired.

    I ordered the Developers edition and found out that one of the sections there is an "upgrade" option. Apparently this also works if you like to "Downgrade". I selected this option and only a couple of minutes later everything worked again as if it had not expired at all.

    I thought I just share this with you.
