If you are using windows 2008(?) then all you will need to do is insert your SQL Server CD again and this time, no need to reinstal; just do an upgrade and you will be asked to add licenses.<br />
<br />
If however, you are running windows server 2005, then it should say, Licensing in control panel.<br />
<br />
See this also for upgrading to licensed version.<br />
