Installing VS2005 over trial edition

Hello,

I received the trial edition of VS2005 a few months ago and recently purchased the professional edition and need to install it as time is running out on my trial. I used the trial edition with a few SDKs and dlls without really worrying about keeping track of them (I assumed the upgrade was a simple registration key change, not another install). Will the install of the paid edition wipe all of this out?

I also assume I don't have to worry about uninstalling anything as (I think) the trial version was a release version. True?

Thanks

KCD
You can actually convert a trial to a full version by choosing the Change/Remove button on Visual Studio in Add/Remove Programs (Control Panel) and simply entering the full version product key.
