Reinstall RS Client?

Hi,
I have purchased a new copy of SQL Server for running Reporting Service as
the Evaluation copy has expired.
I have installed Visual Studio with RS client on a workstation as I don't
want to install Report Designer on the Server.
I would like to know is it necessary for me to uninstall the Evaluation Copy
RS Client on my workstation before installing the new RS Client ?
Your advice is sought.I am pretty sure the evaluation expiration is only the server part of RS,
not the design tools. Are you getting a message saying that it has expired
when you try to design? You should still be able to design and preview. If
that is the case (I am trying to remember what I did but I don't think I did
anything with the client tools). Unless you have a problem my suggestion is
to leave the designer alone. After installing the new server you should
download SP2 and install that at both the server and the client.
