Installing trial version of nw2004s ABAP AS

[Former Member]

a.. I started installing this trial version and then fond my hostname is more than 13 characters long. It is very difficult to change hostname. Is there a workaround? Does installation automatically pickup hostname. If not, when it asks for hostname, can I use localhost as work around.

b. I know requirements for installation is Windows 2003, but can I install it on Windows 2000 Server Profressional.

c. Is SAP GUI is alreday installed, I presume installation of trial version will mess existing SAP GUI?
