Ok, several months ago we had an independant contractor install some
financial software on a server I provided. I gave the guy a fully licenced
version of SQL Server and let him do his work.
Unfortunately, it appears he didn't use my copy of SQL, he downloaded and
used the 120 day evaluation version of SQL which has now expired.
Does anyone know if I can simply uninstall the 120 day eval version of SQL,
install the Full version and the copy over the raw data and log files? I am
unable to do a normal backup and restore since the Eval services won't
start.
Please help!

Take a filesystem backup that includes the database files before you start.
