generally you should not have demo license on a licensed system.  if you 
properly purchased everything and attempted to license the system but 
still have demo licenses it means the licensing team did not issue your 
license correctly.

they will need to issue you a valid license. licensing cannot issue demo 
licenses.  demo licenses are included with default installs only.  they 
cannot be recreated.
