From: Frank on 4 Sep 2009 08:57 Is it possible to in place upgrade the 2008 r2 evaluation version to a full licensed version? according to the download site: "you will need to uninstall the evaluation software and reinstall a fully-licensed version of Windows Server 2008 R2." yet elsewhere I see that Windows Server 2008 R2 RC to Windows Server 2008 R2 RTM In-Place Upgrade is supported We are able to pre-purchase the licences, so obviously we don't want to uninstall a good setup if we get one going regards Frank
