Upgrade SQL Server 2000 Personal Edition to SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition
Hi,
One of our engineer mistakenly installed SQL Server 2000 Personal Edition in our customer server.
While the requirement should be SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition.
And we just found out recently because the customer complained that the server is slow. From the Event-Viewer it is clearly shown that the Personal Edition is limited to 8 concurrent queries, while the number of actual concurrent queries are more than 8.
Do you have a step-by-step how to upgrade to SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition? I mean really step-by-step instruction. Keep in mind that there are production databases (Lets call them DB1, DB2, DB3).
Thanks.

Downtime is ok, no problem with that.
But data lost is something we dont want.
I got tons of result from Google which somehow confuse me.
That's why I turn to EE and hope that someone has done this before and documented the process.
Or knew a valid tested article / procedures how to do it.

How to perform an edition upgrade within SQL Server 2000 (Setup)
To upgrade a SQL Server 2000 installation to a different edition of SQL Server 2000
1. Insert the Microsoft® SQL Server 2000" compact disc for the edition you want to install into your CD-ROM drive. If the compact disc does not autorun, double-click Autorun.exe in the root directory of the compact disc.
2. Select SQL Server 2000 Components, select Install Database Server, and then setup prepares the SQL Server Installation Wizard. At the Welcome screen, click Next.

7. If Setup detects that you are doing an edition upgrade, the Upgrade dialog box appears. Click Yes, Upgrade my <text specific to the upgrade> to upgrade the feature set of your current installation, and click Next.
8. After the upgrade is completed, you are prompted as to whether you want to install additional components. If you click Yes, the Select Components dialog box appears. Accept the defaults or select the additional components you want to install, and then click Next.
You can select an item in the Components list, and then select items from the related Sub-Components list. Click to select items you want to install; clear the check box of the items you do not want to install.
