Not sure how to just enter the sql license without having to reinstall it?
Anybody done that before?

You could probably do an in place upgrade. You could test that on a test system to be sure it works.

The scenarios that are supported are listed here:

The main caveat for Eval edition is:

Upgrading from Evaluation Enterprise (a free edition) to any of the paid editions is supported for stand-alone installations, but is not supported for clustered installations.
