how do i upgrade to the licenced corporate version when i have an evaluation version

I have an evaluation version of VS2005 and I need to upgrde it to the licensed version of VS2005 of my compagny.

Do I have reinstall the licensed version all over on my computer or is there a way to upgrade without reinstalling again.

The corporate version we have is open and has no serial key associated with it.

Thanks a lot.

if you put in the installation CD for the corporate edition, it should come up with an install screen that will tell you if you can upgrade or not....

it generally will have options like "repair" or "add additional features"

however if I were you I would do an uninstall/reinstall to be safe.

Visual Studio has an option to export all your settings in the tools menu, so you can re-import them after you install your corporate copy.

There is a CD key associated with the corporate copy, its just probably already entered and grayed out when you get to that part of the installation.
