Any way to get rid of the debugging of a debugging version of 2003?

[Marduk]

I have, thanks to my school, a copy of Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.

Actually, several copies.

3 180 day Evals

8 unlimited Debug versions.

the Evals work fine, but are time limited, so I only use them for testing purposes only.

However, the Debug versions are not time limited, but raise hell with software I want to use, like VMware and Daemon Tools (as I'm on a laptop with it). It also craps out if I install the nForce drivers for one of my desktops.


Anyone know of any ways to disable the debugging so it won't act up on me, and I can use it like any other copy of server 2003?

Obtain an RTM copy of of software. Debugging copies are specifically made for testing purposes and as such you really can't totally disable the debugging tools in it.

I figured as such.

I didn't have any control over what the school passed out, and I only have 1 key for my Standard 2003 Server(which is being used for LAN Parties), and I haven't used my Server 2003 X64 Enterprise Edition I got from the Tech Tour (holding onto it; debating whether to use it or sell it off for more RAM)
