  I installed the trial version of 2008 and made heavy setups (users, db's and policies ) and now I'm ready to upgrade to the licensed version of 2008 and I can not afford to install another instance, I just need to upgrade the existing instance without reinstalling. Can this be done?

  yes, if you have the correct license and media, you can run an "edition upgrade" from the installer
