We have been running an evaluation edition of SQL Server 2005. It expired and we purchased the Standard Edition with 5 CALs.
Since the evalutation edition is expired, the SQL Server Management Studio will not run.
I cannot figure out how/where to enter the Product Key.
We have far too much time and effort into this installation to uninstall/reinstall.
How can I activate?
Thanks.

Hi
-I have istalled sql server 2005 standard edition , I want to install sql server 2005 enterprise edition on the same machine.
Is it possible? I have Microsoft windows server 2003 SP2 and 1GB RAM.
I want to use partition function with the enterprise edition, will the trial version of sql server work for me?
-If I have already created a database and tables using the standard edition, will I be able to access and use the database using the installed trial version or will I have to start a fresh creating a new database?
- Is it possible to access the same database with any of the installed versions?
BTW, I am prety new to sql server and databases , I am trying to learn by myself

View 1 Replies View RelatedDear All,We have a database which contains many tables which have millions ofrecords. When We attach the database with MS SQL Server 2005 StandardEdition Server and run some queries (having joins, filters etc.) thenthey take very long time to execute while when We execute same querieson Enterprise Edition then they run 10 times faster than on standardedition.Our database does not use any features which are present in EnterpriseEdition and not present in Standard Edition. We want to know what arethe differences between Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition forperformance. Why should we go for Enterprise Edition when StandardEdition has all the features required.We are presently using evaluation versions of SQL Server 2005 Standardand Enterprise Editions.Thanks and regards,Nishant Sainihttp://www.simplyjava.com
View 23 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to upgrade a 2005 Standard Edtion to Enterprise Edition. This is a default instance. All components are upgraded successfully except the Database Engine. I receive the following error:
SQL Server Setup has encountered the following problem: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]The certificate cannot be dropped because one or more entities are either signed or encrypted using it.. To continue, correct the problem, and then run SQL Server Setup again.
This installation does not have encryption enabled, so I do not undersand the error or how to correct it.
After rebooting the SQL instance appears to be upgraded to Enterprise, but it cannot be upgraded to SP2.

Hi all--I'm researching the cleanest downgrade path from a trial edition of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise to a licensed Standard Edition copy. It looks like downgrading will entail uninstalling the old version and installing the new version, but I'd like to save the original setup as much as possible. Detaching the old databases will preserve the non-system databases; what method would work best for restoring the system databases?
Thanks!

The enterprise edition of SQL server includes some advanced BI features, for example the fuzzy lookup feature of IS. If the IS package lives on an enterprise edition of SQL server and the database the package it is targeting lives on a standard edition of SQL server can the advanced features be used? Can you run a fuzzy look against a database on a standard edition of SQL server when th IS package lives on an enterprise edition of SQL server? THANKS!

I have recently upgraded a SQL x64 server from Developer Edition to Standard Edition, This succeeded without issue. Following a reboot SQL Server yielded the following message
Your SQL Server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with unable to load SQLBoot.DLL. Please uninstall then re-run setup to correct this issue.
Please can anyone help ?
Many Thanks

I'd like to upgrade from my current SQL Server version: 09.00.3042 (Workgroup edition that comes with SBS upgrade) to the standard edition that I've just purchased. I've attempted to run setup.exe SKUUPGRADE=1 from the command prompt and it just tells me that there's nothing new to install.
I don't really want to uninstall the current installation just to do something that shouldn't be complicated to do, upgrading software versions should not be a difficult process.
Does anybody have any experience with this?
I believe it is possible to restore databases from Enterprise edition to an enviroment with Standard edition. We have been able to do it on databases without any partitioned tables. But if a database has partitioned tables it will not start up in the Standard edition after a successful restore. The error log states that the database will not start because partitions are not allowed in Standard edition (which we knew). But we were led to believe that the databases would restore and open fine, the partitions would just not be there in Standard edition. Are we possibly doing something wrong or will this just not work?
Thanks

As an ISV, I want to certify my product on Standard Edition. I am using Developer Edition everywhere. Is there a way I can do the certification using the Developer Edition, or do I need to obtain/purchase a copy of the Standard Edition?

Does anyone know if there are any issues with restoring Master DB ontoa server running Standard Edition from a server running EnterpriseEdition of SQL Server?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have a performance problem with a SQL statement (never completes) on one of our customer€™s sites. They are running SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition with SP2. The server is dual core with 3GB or RAM.
We requested a backup of the database and restored it to a SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition Server with SP2. The server has a single CPU with 2GB or RAM. However the exact same SQL (cut and paste) executes in approx 35 seconds.
We restored the backup of the customers database SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition with SP2. The server is dual core with 2GB or RAM. However as on eth customer site the SQL never completes.
So our question is why is this happening and is there a solution?
Our understanding is that the SQL Server 2005 engine is the same but Developer Edition (aka Enterprise Edition) has additional options.
I tried to download PerformancePoint Server Trial Version to ther server today and I got to the configuration point of the Analysis Services Setting, and when I clicked next to proceed with the configuration I got a popup error message:
"Microsoft Analysis Server must be Evaluation, Developer or Enterprise Edition".
Now I have SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition Disc (Bought it with Visual Studio 2005) but on the server I have SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition, if I try to run the sql server developer Edition disc, I use the wizard download and it seems that the download is going through the SQL Server entire download, it's like I'm re-downloading SQL Server all over again.
Does that seem right?
what is the best approach to work around this probelm?
I appreciate any help
Thanks

Do I need to remove Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (Standard) from the Add or Remove program to replace it with Developer Edition?
I also wondering if I would need to backup my data and log files first, would they be deleted during the process?
Thanks.

Hi there
Our ISP hosts our data on SQL Server Enterprise, but I also going to host the databases on my local machine.
As it's just local would Standard edition do? If I migrate the databases over, will it work?
Thanks in advance.
We are trying to install the Standard Edition of SQL Server 2005. We already have SQL Express installed. Standard won't install and Express won't uninstall.
We have tried every suggestion we can find and some we made up. When we try to install Standard, we get to the bit where you choose what you want to install and the only thing available is workstation components.
There are so many cases of this on the Internat that I can't believe MS have not solved the issue. And I am stunned that they want to charge us more money to talk to us about how to fix something we just paid them an arm and a leg for!
What do I need to tell you to get some idea of where to go next with this?
All,
I'm new to x64 bit architecture.
Server OS is 2003 R2 EE x64
Sql is 2005 Std sp2 with hotfix
4 way processors
4 GB of RAM
I reading that all x32 configurations do not apply... pae , awe
enabled etc....
after sp_configure ..sql is set to 2gb max memory setting.
Does this not have to be increased for sql to see more
memory .. I've confirmed that OS can see the 4GB but
don't think SQL can.
Does 'AWE enabled' still haveto be set up (or anything else)with this setup to optimize memory.
thanks much

Hello everybody,
I got a problem in my development phase. I'm developing a web-application system that running merge database technology which is centralized database and distributed database. This is because my customer want a highly optimum system standby.
My centralized database running SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and the distributed database running SQL Server 2005 Express Edition (because it is free). Each of these database, the users can change the data on its database. So, every database must have the same data. from my understanding, each server must act as Publisher and Subscriber. Can SQL Server 2005 Express Edition be a Publisher?
If not, what the solution you all may suggest, because cost is the first factor. If my architecture is not correct, so what you all suggest to me to resolve the problem.
Thanks so much. Any suggestion and opinion is highly appreciate and I'm highly thanks to you all.
I am getting the following warning on a Live SQL 2000 system:
This SQL Server has been optimized for 8 concurrent queries. This limit has been exceeded by 1 queries and performance may be adversely affected.
Reading about this error I realised that, by mistake, the version installed is a personal edition instead of the standard edition.
I am thinking to backup the databases, uninstall SQL 2000 Personal edition, install Standard edition and restore the databases back.
OR, disconnect the databases, uninstall the current version, install the standard version and re-connect the databases.
I haven't found within Microsoft any advice how to upgrade the personal version to the standard edition.
Because it is a live system, I would not like to mess the system up. Can you please advice?
Many thanks
I have a problem,
because we installed the SQL Server 2005-64Bit Developer Edition on a 2003 Server R2-64Bit with 10GB RAM an 2 Xeon. Now we have huge performance problems wich should be better using the Stadard Edition...
I don't know if it is easily possible to upgrade by only inserting the DVD and start the Setup...
Has anybody some experiences?
Please give some information....
Is it possible to "convert" from SQL 7.0 Standard Edition to SQL 7.0 Enterprise Edition?
Thanks.
What's the best/easiest method to upgrade from Standard Edition to Enterprise Edition and still keep the databases in tact?
My thoughts were to:
1)Backup databases
2)Detach User Databases
3)Uninstall Standard
4)Install Enterprise
5)Restore Master and msdb
6)Reattach the User Databases
Comments?
