beats, thanks for your reply. I tried the link you mentioned there. But, even after changing the registry value, I get the 'Windows is already activated' message. I tried restarting the machine in safe mode... Again the result is same. Thanks Jijo

Hello I had installed a test server in my office with Windows Server 2003 Ent trial version few months back. This is used for testing applications developed in our company. Only few more days left for the expiry of this OS. Now we have purchased licese for the server. I need to update the new license keys and remove the timebomb in the server, without formatting/reinstalling it. Is there any way I can do this? I really need this because it requires a lot of time to reinstall and configure the applications installed in it. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks, Jijo
