Evaluation upgrade

I have been using the SQL Server 2000 evaluation software
and the licence has expired. I have now installed the
bought version as a separate instance, however I cannot
move the database from the evaluation instance as it will
not start because that licence has expired. Can anyone
help?You should be able to re-attach the database files to your new instance. See
sp_attach_db in BOL.

"How to perform an edition upgrade within SQL Server 2000 (Setup)" in Books
Online, and than move the database.
