Change from Enterprise Edition to Developer Edition

We want to install SQL Server 2005 Developer on a server that has SQL Server
2000 Enterprise edition and we are getting an error of you can't upgrade from
Enterprise to Developer. The server is not supporting production and has
never supported production; it is strictly for development activities. Is
there a way we can do that?
Thanks,
Joseph
You can uninstall Enterprise and install Developer. It will not delete any
user dbs but you should have proper backups of all dbs and scripts or a plan
to recreate logins etc if needed.

|||Thanks Andrew. I wanted to avoid uninstalling 2000 because I've never been
able to uninstall it cleanly. Also wanted to see how the upgrade in-place
works for 2005. I want to know if there's a way I can downgrade the
Enterprise to Developer and then upgrade.
