Hi Guys
We have been running the evaluation version of RS for about 2 months now and I am planning to migrate to the full product. I have the media, the licences etc.
Can anyone point me in the direction of some documentation on how I should proceed or has anyone got any advice for me?
Thanks a lot

Go to Microsofts Reporting Services website and Technical Resources/Whitepapers
There is a good paper on deployment.

Hi Gregory .
Thanks for the link, however this article still doesn`t mention how to migrate from my current eval installation (which now has a number of reports / subscriptions / security settings) to the full version keeping all my current settings intact.
Is it a case of reinstall the full version, then redeploy every report to the new version or can I kind of upgrade to the full version?
Cheers
James

You may want to do a search back through the RS Admin forum, I think it was Phil (philcart) who posted a message indicating that the upgrade could be done with minimum fuss - along the lines of BU the DB's and (encryption) keys, install the non-eval version on the server, point it at the existing DB and that was about it.

G'day Steve
Thanks for the feedback. I'll have a look for the thread you mention. If that`s the case, it sounds like music to my ears. I would like to retain my existing settings if at all possible.
Thanks again
James.
