How can the licensing product key with which SQL Server is installed be replaced/updated

If this is possible, will the same procedure apply both to SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005

Thanks.

I don't think it is possible to update/modify the existing product key since it is supplied at install time and not exposed anywhere. The workaround would be to backup/detach your DBs, uninstall, and reinstall with the new product key. Not ideal, but that would fix the problem.
