Developer Edition Product Key

Ive got a server which I want to install the SQL Server Developer Edition on but it previously had the full version on which has been uninstalled but every time I try to install the dev edition it it its prompting me for a Product key which I know for the developer edition isnt needed. Is there a registry key from the previous install which is triggering this ?

Developer edition does require a product key. The only editions that don't are Eval and Express. Enter the key supplied when you purchased the Dev edition and you're good to go.

Thanks,
