Run setup again and check the "maintenance" page. I am not sure if that will allow you to do this or not, but I know you can change the edition of SQL server using this. Please post back your results.

If that does not work, I suggest an inplace upgrade provided the trial has not expired. If it has, you may need to do a reinstall.
