I currently have SQL 2005 enterprise evaluation edition installed with Microsoft CRM installed on top of it. Is there a way to keep CRM installed and uninstall SQL enterprise evaluation so that I can install a licensed SQL 2005 standard version so that it still works with the current CRM installation?

Can SQL enterprise be downgraded to SQL Standard while CRM 4.0 remains installed?

In addition to well-known products like SQL Server, Exchange, Internet Information Services (IIS), Microsoft Dynamics, Forefront, Lync and Sharepoint, they include applications like Skype, BizTalk, Hyper-V, Groove and Commerce Server. Server applications are managed with the Microsoft System Center.
