See this article : "Windows Home Server: How to upgrade from trial or beta version?".
It contains a list of the steps to take. Here is a small quote from the text:

Upgrading Windows Home Server From a Beta or 120 Day Evaluation Version

The upgrade is actually a server reinstallation as opposed to a new install. This will keep all your existing files and storage pool intact. If this was a new install the drives specified for the storage pool would be formatted and one would lose the data on the drive. Make sure you make note of the users, passwords settings and Windows Live ID you had used in the previous install because you will have to re-enter this information. Also write down the fixed IP address and DNS names you used in the previous install.
