Hi, Jim. Now you have my curiosity peaked. You have regenerated two questions. 1. If the build difference isn't the mitigating factor as to why it isn't a straight upgrade, what is the reason? Not that the uninstall and reinstall with a backed up config is difficult or overly time consuming, but it would by nice to understand. 2. I am now more curious as to why SP1 can't be applied to the eval version. From a marketing perspective I consider this the be a huge problem. (Give the potential customers a piece of software that is broken and can't be fixed (at least easily) to evaluate.

The ISA eval version is a different build than the release, but that's not the gating factor. You'll notice that when you apply hotfixes that the ISA version reported is also changed. Take a look at your version column after applying a hotfix or SP1. The last digit set changes to indicate your hotfix level.
