'Upgrade' from 2000 Standard to 2000 Development edition

[Dejan Markic]

Hello!

I would like to change the SQL server 2000 from Standard version to
Development edition. I have two database running on this server, both
replicated, with few jobs, etc ... Can you recommend the easiest way to do
this? I heard, it would be as easy as, detaching the databases, deleting
current SQL software, installing different one, and attaching the old
databases back. I doubt that is true, so that's why I'm asking here for any
real-life instructions.

Thanks for your input!

Kind regards,
Dejan

I wouldn't say this was an "Upgrade". Dev edition cannot be used in
production.

You can however simply detach and attach the databases. between these two
editions
