Which OS?
I Have A Pc At Home Not Connected To The Net Serving As An Internal Server For A Couple Of Applications That I Run.
When I Did My Mcse We Were Given A Couple Of Versions To Use But They Have A 120 Day Evaluation Period Then I Have To Format And Re-install.
We Were Also Given A Step By Step Instruction On How To Adjust This Os So The 120 Day Period Did Not Apply.easy To Do.
This Was 6 Years Ago And I Cant Find My Instructions And Cant Remember, But Dont Want To Go Thru The Procedure Every 3 Months.
Can Anyone Let Me Know

Which OS?
Win 200k Server
This allows you to make a full version from a trial cd.... it may not be what you have done in the past though....
Windows 2000 + 2003 Server, Windows 2000 Pro Evaluation hack to Full version.
You have to be on a nt machine... nt, 2k, xp.
Follow these steps.
1. put in your 2k server trial cd and browse to the i386 directory.
2. find the file setupreg.hiv and copy it to your desktop
3. open the properties of the file and uncheck readonly
4. run regedt32 (not regedit)
5. click on the registry menu up top and select load hive... browse to your desktop for the file and select it.
6. name it whatever you want... it doesnt matter
7. expand it... expand controlset001 then expand services
8. find the key setupdd under services and open it.
9. double click the <no name> value
10. you will see a bunch of zeros and letters(00A30200000000000800000002000000)... change everything to zeros so it looks like this 00000000000000000000000000000000
11. click ok and now go back up to the key you made and highlight it
12. click the registry menu again and select unload hive... it will give a popup warning... just select ok
13. take your edited setupreg.hiv file and substitute the original one in the i386 folder (you will need to burn a new cd)
14. that's it... you will see something while you are installing about it being a trial version... but it isnt. normally on a trial version on the bottom right corner of your desktop it will say it is a trial version with the build number... if you don't see this you did it right.
I hope this helps.

Looks Very Similar.
Will Try This Tonight.
Thank You.
Do you have some program that capitalises every word you type, or do you have pinky fingers that would rival Arnold Schwartzenegger's biceps?
PM sent.
Thank You everyone for their replies and pm,s.
All working now and longer than 120days.
As for the Capitals.
My job still gets in the way of my hobbie and certain work terminals are locked to CAPPS as our applications here at work are very outdated and only recquignise CAPPS
When im at my desk like now i have a pc.
