Change version of SQL 2000 on running system

Hi,

is it possible to change the installed version on a server from SQL 2000 Standard Edition to SQL 2000 Developer Edition?

The server has been a production server and is now only used for testing by development, not from end users.

Best regards, Stefoon

I think the only supported way to do this is to uninstall and reinstall SQL 2000.

Thanks,

Satya, what's the trick to change a current edition on a machine other than uninstall/reinstall?

Thanks,
