Windows Home Server
Hey folks,
I got the 120 day evaluation version of WHS and I think I'm happy enough with it to part with the money... however I can't seem to find a way to just go online, make a payment and receive a new COA or something over the wire that turns my eva version into a full version.
Surely in this day and age Micro$oft aren't expecting me to now go and buy the discs again and re-install thereby wiping out my existing backups?
Cheers!
Rez

Re: Windows Home Server
I would guess you just update the CD Key with the retail version you buy, and active the software online. No need to re-install.
The only other option I could think you would have to do, is a in place upgrade.

Re: Windows Home Server
Don't think you can, according to the ms forums you need to reinstall it.
