I'm currently using SQL Server 2005, but expect that I will upgrade in the near future. How easy/difficult will it be to switch from the SQL Server 2005 add-on to the SQL Server 2008 one when I am ready to upgrade?

This is a simple method of backup and restore. You can view the KB article on how to perform the backup on your SQL 2005 here: https://support.discountasp.net/KB/a191/sql-2005-management-tools.aspx

When you activate your SQL 2008 server you can restore the .bak file following the article here:
