I just installed 2005 and accepted all the defaults to upgrade the default instance of 2000 as prompted. However, when I open the SQL Server Mgnt Studio, my server shows 8.0.2039 as the version which is 2000, and I can't restore a backup from another 2005 server, because it gives an error message like it still thinks its 2000. The whole installation process went fine including sp1. I looked in Services to see if there was more than one instance of SQL Server, and there isn't. Also, all my database files are still in the old 2000 (mssqldata) directory. Any ideas, solutions? Thanks.

Hi All,
I have been using the 180 day evaluation version of SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and I have my license key now for the purchased version. I read on the Microsoft site I am able to upgrade to the non-trial version without uninstalling the eval version. But for Standars Edition Microsoft states:
"... If upgrading to the fully licensed version of SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition, Workgroup Edition, or Developer Edition, it is recommended that you uninstall the 180-day trial version of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition before installing the fully licensed version of the other editions..."
Is there anyway out where I don't need to uninstall my eval database server?
If it is necessary to uninstall eval version, then what is the best way to preserve all my current databases?
Thanks,
Sumit
We have been using the 180 day evaluation version and I have my license key now for the purchased version. I read on the Microsoft site I am able to upgrade to the non-trial version without uninstalling the eval version. But it doesn't tell me HOW to do it. I was expecting a menu option, maybe on the About Screen of Management Studio to enter it. (How naive is that?) Is there a simple way to tell the Eval version I am now licensed?
TIA

Can some one here give me more insight about how to upgrade a SQL Server 2005 Standard Version (32 bits) to a SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Version (32 bits) as default instance on a Windows 2003 enterprise OS (32 bits). I want to know what is the easist way and what is the safest way. May I preserve some settings I have for the STD version, or I have to start from strach again to configure the server? Is there any catches, anything I should have attention to (We are using heavily about CLR and fulltext indexing)?
Thanks a milliom

Hi All,
Currently we are using standard edition SQL Server 2005. In couple of days we will upgrade our system to Enterprise ed. How to do the right upgrade without losing any data? Do we have to uninstall the current version before upgrade it? Also, what is the best practice to have, keep using standard edition in my development box while later I will deploy it in enterprise on production server, or using Developer ed in my development box?
Thanks in advance.
I have a database running on what transpires to be an evaluation copy of SQL 6.5 which has expired. How can I install a full licenced copy of 6.5 whilst retaining databases, users etc.
Note:when starting the SQL server service it immediately shuts down due to the eval expiry. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I need to create a DB version upgrade schema on client site that will preserve the existing data.
Provide the user with a patch that he can run on his database that wiil apply changes to his DB structure and keep the old data.
One approach that I am thinking of is to create a differential DB patch - a and apply that to the client database.
Is there any strategy any algorithm to do that. Can it be automated?
If there any accomplishments or approaches known on the subject?
I would greatly appreciate any ideas you can come up with.

Hi all,
Since some analysis services features are only available in Enterprise version , I have to upgrade my SQL 2005 server from standard edition to enterpise edition.
So I uninstall originial standard version of analysis service and install a Enterprise version. However, the analysis service is still a standard version after installation.
Is it possible to keep data engine as standard version and install a enterprise version of analysis service?
Thank you very much

Hi All,
I am doing an upgrade of SQL Server from Beta 3 release to the release version. I will appreciate if I get some information , some tips that I should follow which will make my task simpler. The database is very critical and big. It has huge amounts of stored procedures.
If you can tell me any site which gives information regarding this that will be also helpful..
Thanks

Hi Guyz
We are currently running with Eval 120day limit SQL6.5 SP4 and now wish to upgrade to the full version. We have now purchased the full version but whenever we try to "upgrade" the server all we get told is that we should "Use control panel to add or remove components" or we are told that we should "use service pack 3 to update". I can only assume that this message is refering to Add/Remove programs in the control panel but there is no reference to SQL here.
Any ideas how we can upgrade to the full legal version without loosing our SMS data?
Very best regards to all
Stuart
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.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWe have a 64bit os machine that we accidently loaded the 32 bit version of sql server on. We now want to upgrade it to 64 bit sql server, but we now have a production database on it. My understanding is that all I have to do is detach the production database, upgrade to 64bit sql server, then reattach the database. Is this really all I have to do?

Greetings,
I am about to let users upgrade their SQL Express installations to Standard Edition. They will all run the upgrade program by a command line argument that I will supply along with a setup.ini that I will supply. Is it possible by simple means "hack" the setup.ini file in order to only allow upgrade to x86 Standard Edition? We have DVDs with all kinds of editions for both x86 and 64-bit and I would not want the users to accidentally upgrade to Enterprise Edition or a 64-bit Standard edition.
Is this possible to attain by simply means or do I have to upgrade all clients myself?
Regards,
Harald Hedlund
We migrated the MDS database to a new server (win 2012 & sql 2014). We did this by detaching attaching. After the move, I tried to upgrade the MDS database using the master configuration manager and i am getting the following error. I couldn't find any relevant articles online. "The upgrade from the version of the database is not supported or the sql scripts for the upgrade are misisng".

I am having a question about SSIS. Is it a totally new product in SQL Server 2005 or it is a upgrade version of previous version DTS? Thanks a lot for any guidance for that.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,
Our application installation setup needs to be able to detect:
Is SQL Server 2005 Express Installed?
If false, run the SP2 Installation
Is SQL Server 2005 Express or SQL Express SP1 Installed?
If false, run the SP2 Installation with Update Switch
Is SQL Server 2005 (not Express) Installed
If true, abort installation with a mesage.
Can you direct me to some documentation about testing for these environments or just if someone has some scripts that will run in InstallShield, that would be great.
ALSO, can you direct me to information about using the command line update switch for the Express SP2 Installer?
Thanks.

hello we want to evaluate TS foundation server but it says it won't support developer edition sql, only sql2k5 stanard. But now we have DEVELOPER version on our development sql server, DEVDATA1, i.e. instances DEVDATA1DEV, and DEVDATA1QA are both installed on the same sql server box with both SP1 applied.
How can we update DEVDATA1QA to Standard version while still have SP1 applied? we just install Standard CD and then apply SP1 again?
Because this instance is our QA version, before we do something silly, if any of you did that before, any advice would be really helpful.
thanks in advance.
Hi,
We are performing a SQL 2005 SP1 upgrade from SQL 2000 on our Windows 2003 SP1 Standard Edition.
When we run the upgrade, we got a error "Upgrade Advisor Return -1" as a pop-up window.
When we run the Upgrade Advisor separately, we get this error :

Hi,

Followed through all the steps and specified the account(SA priveleges and currently used by the 2000 version) and is the local admin on the box for the services and the setup seemed to move fine, except for when it got to the point of installing database services - This is the error message that I got:

I have a developer who built an application using the SSE 2005 December CTP and I would like to bring the db's into the official SSE 2005 released version. I have attempted the following:
1. Create the db's in the released version, detach and re-attach the CTP db's. I got an error telling me they were incompatible.
2. Installed CTP version on one server, backed up the db's and then attempted to restore the db's on another server running the official released version of SSE 2005. Got an error attempting that too.
3. Installed the Management Studio for SS 2005 Developer edition thinking that I could connect to the two seperate instances of each server and like I could in EM 2000 run the transfer wizard to move the db's and data from one server to the next. Problem with this is that I can't get an object browser connection established. I have TCP/IP all config'd correctly, too.
Any other ideas where I can go with this at this time?
Thanks in advance.

I am out of brain cells. I can not figure out how to upgrade instances of sql express to sql 2005 or even add an instance of sql 2005. I have installed/upgraded everything else (SSMS, etc.) to SQL 2005.
I am dazed and confused. I don't even know where to start in explaining what I have tried and done. I have 303 log files going back to 3/27/2007 from various attempts.
Where do I start in figuring this debacle out???
I currently have SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005 and would like to upgrade my machine to SQL Developer 2005 as easily as possible. Keeping my databases and such.
Any recommendations on the best way to do this would be greatly appreciated.
thanks!
I am trying to upgrade SQL Server Express 2005 Report Server to SQL 2005 Standard and it fails with the following error:
SQL Server Setup did not have the administrator permissions required to copy a file: C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.8Reporting ServicesReportServer
ssrvpolicy.config. To continue, verify that the file exists, and either grant administrator permissions to the account currently running Setup or log in with an administrator account. Then run SQL Server Setup again.
After I click OK on the message, this whole path where the upgrade is bieng installed dissapears C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.8Reporting Services. The error is a bit missleading because the file that it is trying to copy rssrvpolicy.config does appear in that upgrade folder so I am not sure why it would try to copy a file that has already been copied.
I was able to upgrade the Database Engine instance fine but can't upgrade Reporting Services due to that error. I have verified that the account that ran the setup had the administrator permissions. Your prompt reply to my question would be greatly appreciatted.
if i upgrade from sql server 2005 expressto sql server 2005 enterprise can i do it ?

I am trying to upgrade SQL Server 2005 Express to SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition.
(As a Preparation to install SQLServer2005 Service Pack 2 (CTP))
I tried to upgrade a particular Instance (OFFICESERVERS, which was based on SQL Server 2005 Express ).
During the upgrade I get a message saying that ...
.....Your upgrade is blocked because of edition upgrade rules.....

I've been reading and looking over what to do for my situation for several days. I need to ask and see if I can get a clear answer.
My Scenario:
I have a SQL Server 2005 Eval installed that is currently running with live data. I need to upgrade that to a recently-purchased full version. I have several databases set up. I have ready the article 914158 that states it will fail. It's still running so I can access everything. If I restart or stop the service I'm screwed.
That do I do?
Thanks so much!
