Downgrade SQL Server edition

Hi all,
I was running an MSDN version of SQL 2000 Developer Edition on a server
until I accidentally upgraded it to Enterprise Edition while attempting
to install some Management Tools. Is it possible to downgrade it back
to Dev Edition?

Thanks,
Josh

As far as I know, there's no way to downgrade other than
uninstall/reinstall (after backing up and/or detaching your user
databases, of course).
