Can I upgrade from an evaluation copy to a full copy without having to uninstall/ reinstall?

Contributed By: Cliff Hobbs [MVP ConfigMgr/ SMS]
Yes you can. In SMS you couldn't upgrade an evaluation copy to an RTM version without uninstalling and reinstalling the product. With ConfigMgr it is possible to upgrade an eval copy of the product to an RTM product.

This also applies to Service Packs as well, so if you install an SP1 eval copy you can upgrade it to the full version once it's released by installing the RTM version over the top of the eval version.

If the download of the ConfigMgr Prerequisite files fails part way through does it start again from the beginning?

Contributed By: Cliff Hobbs [MVP ConfigMgr/ SMS]
There are numerous reasons why the download of the ConfigMgr Prerequisite files can fail.  The good news is if the download gets part way through it resumes from the point at which it failed.

So if for example you connection dropped out after downloading 65 files it wouldn't start from file number 1 the next time you attempted the download but file number 66.
