How SQL Server Upgrades the version

1. Take SQLSERVER2014 as an example of how SQL Server upgraded the version, and also for processing after 180 days of the evaluation version.

2. Open all applications see a sqlserver2008 Installation center and a SQL Server 2014 installation Center

The installation center of sqlserver2014 is obviously chosen here. (though it's nonsense, I miss it myself.)

3. Select Maintenance and select Version Upgrade

Hold on a moment.

4. Enter the Product Key

If you are a pirate victim can enter some serial number, here casually from the Internet search:
