Hello,

Small and stupid problem, but I'm unable to find a solution yet as a 
non-windows user: there is a Server running "Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 
evaluation version" (180 days).  Demo-time will be finished in a few weeks, but 
the System should remain up, so the company ordered a license for this 
2003 r2 sp2 version. 

Question: where is the Product Key to be entered?!     I see no places
on the system to do that, and booting from the CD doesn't display
any "upgrade"-like option. 

Any idea? :)
Olivier, stucked (no help from the MS kb either)
