Visual Studio .net

Question

I installed Visual Studio.Net from a DVD that comes with Microsoft MCSD/MCAD exam books. Now every time I start Visual studio it gives me a message that Visual studio English version will expire 2 days or 3 days.... Is there anyway that I can stop the installed Visual studio from expiring. I don't want to go thru all the uninstalling and installing new visual studio process again. Please help ! Thank you.

Should I uninstall the trial version before installing Visual studio ( the one which I paid for) or Visual studio 2003 will take care of the itself...I mean it will upgrade the trail version.... Thank you C_sharpkid

That was just a trial version you installed. If you want one without an expiration date you are expected to pay for it. I strictly avoid installing any trial software with an expiration date. It's just more trouble than it's worth.
