I was running this and yes it says free and registered thru work.
after 3 months l get a pop up saying evaluation period has ended.
by everyone I have talked to there should not be an evaluation period and one person said my registry is screwed up.
Is there a fix for this. Is there a way to get my databases off the system?
Can I reinstall over this and keep everything ?
thanks for any help with this

this is what I am using
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlexpress/threads
I dl it and it installed and worked great.
I shutdown the database last week because of other things I was working on.
I tried to open the management studio this morning and Evaluation period has ended.
I thought ok I forgot to start the server. I tried that and it errored out.
I checked the event logs and it says evaluation period has expired.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server
there are one or more folders whose name that starts with MSSQL. In
each of these folders there may be a file MSSQL\LOG\ERRORLOG. Can
you post the first few lines of this/these file(s), as in the sample
below:
