    Hello SP,

    Open Control Panel, system. At the end of the page you can change the product
    key to the full version. I think that will be all and then reactivate it.

    Best regards

    Hi,

    Thanks for your post.

    In general, you need to uninstall the Windows Server 2008 trial or upgrade
    to a fully-licensed version of Windows Server 2008.

    Windows Server 2008 Standard
