SQL Server 2008 Developer - Evaluation expired??

[MrRobin]

I purchased SQL Server 2008 Developer Edition and installed it on my laptop about 6 months ago. Now when I run SQL Server Management Studio, it says:

Evaluation period has expired. For information on how to upgrade your evaluation software please go to http://www.microsoft.com/sql/howtobuy

WTF? I did buy it! Or is the management studio an added extra?? Anyone had this?

Ta.

Hmm, well I uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled and it works again. Odd. Perhaps I forgot to 'activate' it or something.

I'll see what happens in another 6 months!

Bizarre, that's not happened to mine

did you enter the key when installing?

Yeah. You have to... unless I stupidly selected the Enterprise trial or something the first time round.

Having a bit of a dense day... must be the snow!
