VS 2008 InstallFest Trail Upgrade

As everyone who attended the VS2008 InstallFest knows, the DVDs that you received were 90 days trail version of the RTM bits. The DVD sleeves had a unique number that allowed you to register to receive a full copy of the product. By now you should have received the full version by mail. Incase you where wondering how to removed the 90 days limitation without reinstalling it, here is how you do it (from Bry http://voidimpossible.com/):

Add-remove programs from control panel -> click remove VS2008 -> window pops up and one of the options is to enter the cd key (the one you got in the mail) to upgrade to the full version.  You don't have to reinstall.

Thanks Bry for pointing this out.
