Do what the message says. buy the full version.

And for future reference, don't run a production system on an evaluation copy of software. Doing stuff like that might (and probably should) get you fired.

Upgrade would be the easiest. Otherwise, you could just copy the profiles to another drive...you shouldn't have your profiles on the system partition anyways, it's bad form.

After the profiles are safely off the system partition, you can format and reinstall. I don't think you'll be able to use that trial again, but I could be wrong.
