Author SQL Server 2000 installed with wrong CD Key

Hi everyone,

installed SQL Server Std. Ed. with a wrong CD Key,
is there a chance to change it to the right key without uninstall/new
installation of the complete product?

Thanx for any help.

Hi you one,

I don=B4t know if that will break the installation, but if your only
option is to reinstall the SQL Server, that should be worth a try:

RegCD is stored in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\S
OFTWARE\Microsoft\Mi
crosoft SQL
Server\80\registrati
on\CD_KEY (if existing), changing this *might*
help.

HTH, jens Suessmeyer.

Forget it,
the key exists. When i change it to the "right" key,
everything is working fine. Also when i change it to any CD_KEY, it
works also.
