To test an application I built a MS 2003 Server using a 2003 Server

evaluation copy. Now that we have completed the testing the server and

application is working fine. I would like to make this a production server

now. I purchased a new copy of MS Server 2003 Enterprise and would like to

use this license without having to rebuild the server. Is there a process to

apply the new license I purchased to the existing evaluation copy? Any help

would be appreciated. Thank you.
