I purchased an Internet Connector License to legitimize my
120 day trial install of SQL 7.0. All I received was a simple
cardboard envelope with a tiny readme and a sticker on the
front with some license info...how the heck do I properly
"register" this thing???
Anyone have any ideas?
I did meanwhile get Backoffice 4.5 complete. I installed
that last night but cannot tell if it "legitimized" SQL
7.0 or not. Maybe there is a way to tell if the trail
version has been upgraded??
I'm getting a "Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool. This may have occurred because all pooled connections were in use and max pool size was reached. "
Error which means, to me (because I close all connections in a finally block) that the db is still in trial mode.
So.... do I create another db, do I make another registration, hmmm
We started out with the trial version of sql2005 and we later purchased the full standard version I belive, I just realized our trial is going to expire which we have data we are using on it. Is it possible to enter our liscense number in the trial to continue using or do I have to detach all of the databases and install the new sql version and then reattach all of the databases and setup any maintence plans again.
I can see that SQL server 2000 trial is available for download, but I need to try out 7 for a particular project at work. Is this available for trial download? (Has it ever been?)
What is the Administrator password for the SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition VHD that runs on Virtual Server 2005? I downloaded the vhd, it's running smoothly on Virtual Server but I can't logon. The virtual OS is Windows Server 2003 R2.
I am running SQL Server 2005 Enterp Trial version, which is about to expire in 14 days.. Is this possible to Extend this? Or Un-installing and re-installing may give me back 180 days again? I haven't tried this, but need to know before I do an attempt?
Don't have other machine, don't want to re-built my system..
My trial is about to end and I have purchased the developer edition disks
When the trial expires is there the opportunity to just enter the product key or do I need to install. If so, the trial programs are under my C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server folder. Can I just use another folder for the developer software or will I need to do some backup and overwrite Thanks for any help
I have just installed SQL 2005 Trial, I have downloaded the DVD iso image from Microsoft. We are planning to upgrade it to the SQL 2005 Standard Edition.
My Question is, does the Trial Edition already include the SP1? When not, ist it possible to Upgrade the Trial with SP1, and the later to Standard Edition?
Or is the only supported way to Upgrade the Trial To Standard, and first then apply the SP1 patch?
Any assistance regarding this would be greatly appreciated.
We are currently in the process of setting up replication, and I need to do some testing prior to putting this into production.
I would like to test the replication using SQL Server 2005 Standard edition as this is the version we will be implementing on our servers. My question is this - is there a trial version of the Standard Edition as my understanding is that the trial version that can be downloaded from Microsoft's website is the Enterprise Edition. If it is the enterprise edition, I am concerned that my tests will not be a true reflection of our proposed systems.
Does anyone know where I can obtain the Standard Edition trial version?

The company finally bought a legitimate copy of SQL Server 7. There was nothing special on my trial version, so I chose the uninstall option from the start menu (it was on my Win95 PC). It removed the files, but didn't uninstall the registry bits though! When trying to install the proper version of SQL 7 it has detected the other version, but no files & won't let me install the legitimate version. Can anyone tell me how to get around this to install the new version?
Can I install the SQL Server 2005 Enterprise edition trial on XP home?
I am confused by the supported OS requirements ("Windows XP with SP 2 or later") mentioned in http://www.microsoft.com/sql/downloads/trial-system-requirements.mspx and I was wondering whether the trial edition would work on XP home.
I see that UPGRADE may only have a value of 'SQL_Engine', so I'm assuming everything relies on the version of the engine. I also see that every cluster install requires certain options that are not specified in my command - which is why I'm a little confused - you can see that info a little below this link - "Parameters Required for Cluster Installations". But I'm thinking this isn't a install, but an upgrade.
I have downloaded Microsoft SQL 2005 trial and now have this running perfectly with our main database. Before I did this I checked to make sure that you could indeed unlock trial with a valid number, and the MSDN site said yes it can be done. I have now purchased the full Standard edition, and wish to enter the product key into the trial version to unlock. How do I do this ???. I have spent 3 hours on the phone today with over 11 different departments, and they all give me conflicting info. Eopen say it cant be done and that I have to uninstall the trial, and then completely re-install STD edition (I DEFINATELY DONT WANT THIS !!!!)
They put me to tech support who say it can be done, but I have to pay for this information ...Excuse me but I yesterday paid over £4000 for the software and now they wont help me unless I pay for support !!!!! http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143393.aspx says it is an acceptable upgrade path but dont say how to do it. .
Eopen say this is not true !!!
How do I unlock SQL 2005 Trial version and down grade it it to a full blown STD version with my licence number I have. Can someone please tell me how this can be done.
If anyone knows, can they please email me at rob.wheeler@ehbp.com with instructions.

When I try to convert a report project from 2005, it seems to convert fine but then the project closes because VS2008 doesn't support that project type (.rptproj ?). I see that there is a report project type under VB (and I assume C#) but there is no Business Intelligence project catagory. It's a new machine and I did install SQL Server 2005 before VS2008.
I'm in the process of moving a bunch of projects and websites from another machine and got hung up on this one. Any pointers greatly appreciated.
