Just a quick question today.  We are currently evaluating 
CRM through MSDN licenses and will wish to buy pro-
licenses for everyone.  The evaluation is taking place on 
what will be the production server/active directory will 
remain the same.

When we upgrade, will we have to completely reinstall and 
perform a data migration from CRM to CRM? 
Do all pieces need to be reinstalled (i.e. Exchange 
router??)
 
I think we do, but I've heard conflicting info and wanted 
to run it past the experts...

Yes, you will need to reinstall.  The license is tied to the Org Name so you
won't be able to use your real license keys with the MSDN Subscriber org name.

Definately uninstall the router before uninstalling CRM and then re-install it
afterwards.  There are reg entries made to the CRM server that won't be there if
you don't install it afterwards.
