i installed a test domain controller using a copy of windows 2003 server
evaluation cd which should have given em 360 days to test

instead after installing i find out that the cd is no longer supported and
thus cannot be activated by MS

now it seems i have to either buy the full licence and reinstall the OS
again or get another evaluation cd and do the same is there a way i can get
round this withut having to install the whole os again?

Is it one of the pre-release Betas such as a Release Candidate?
The license to use those expired upon the release of Server 2003 a few years
ago..

If it is the Evaluation, that should still be OK.
Just order or download it:
