Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition is a comprehensive set of tools that accelerates the process of turning the
developer’s vision into reality. Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition was engineered to support development projects that target the Web (including ASP.NET AJAX), Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, The 2007 Microsoft Office system, SQL Server 2008, and Windows Mobile devices. The number of platforms that developers must target to meet business needs is increasing rapidly. Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition provides the integrated toolset for addressing all of these needs by providing a superset of the functionality available in Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition.
Today’s developers face the challenge of targeting a broad range of platforms and crafting applications that quickly deliver value to the business. Integrated designers and language features in Visual Studio allow developers to build the connected applications demanded by today’s businesses while taking advantage of the .NET Framework 3.5 to reduce development time.

Changing the Product Key in Visual Studio Installer
By default, Visual Studio installer doesn't allow any change in the product key and you cannot edit it.
However changing the product key in Visual Studio installer is very simple. First you need to copy your installer files to your hard drive or any device that lets you apply changes because when you're working on these files from DVD drive or virtual drives, they don't let modifications by nature.
After doing this, go to Setup folder and open the setup.sdb file in a text editor like Notepad. The text content has [Product Key] section where you can replace the previous product key with your own and save your changes.
After this, if you run the setup, it uses your new product key for installation!
OR
Install the trial version.
Go to start-button - configuration - software - remove and select to remove VS2008.
When you choose this you get a screen, where you can remove/repaire/registrate your product.
Choose registration and type in your key.
That's all.
There you go, you have the full version of Visual Studio 2008 Professional Suite.
Microsoft has changed the trial edition starting from 2008 version. If you have trial version you can directly updgrade it using the full version key.
