Evaluation Period has expired. Bugs

[JoeKid09]

Hi guys,

Thanks in advance, I installed SQL Server 2008 Enterprise version on Windows vista. The trail version has expired and I want to be able to upgrade without having this error message popping up every time I use Management Studio. Also, I installed SQL Server 2008 SP1 to take care of this issue, but I still can not get into MSSMS. Instead, I still get the same error message “Evaluation Period has expired. For information on how to upgrade your evaluation software please go to http://www.microsoft.c om/sql/howtobuy

Any ideas on how to workaround this issue, thanks again!

Joe
