XPe tip #16: Can be Eval SLX re-used?

Recently I answered the following question in the newsgroup: is it possible to re-use SLX project created with eval version of the Toolkit with purchased copy of the tools?

We all know that there is no (easy) way to re-use database of eval installation with the full version of the toolkit. If you use it, you are going to end up with eval runtimes.

However, using the SLX (original project) create with eval version with either eval or non-eval versions of the toolkit is perfectly fine as long as you follow the following rules:
- You install the full (non-eval) version of the toolkit properly. You will have to completely uninstall eval version first including database.
- You re-import all the custom SLDs you've created to support that SLX project in to the non-eval database.
- You type in the right PID number in the RunTime field on Configuration Settings page of the loaded SLX in non-eval TD.
