SQL 7.0 Evaluation To Full Version -- Help!
Jul 14, 1999
I guess this is likely a stupid question, but I have no time for pride riht now...
I installed the evaluation version of SQL Server 7.0 and then installed the full version over top of the evaluation version once I received it.
My problem is that now SQL Server is telling me that the evaluation period has expired! How do I get around this? I assumed that installing a full purchased version would "convert" my installation of the evaluation version to a full version, but it hasn't. Please email with any information as I am trying to track this problem down and may not have time to check back here!
Thanks,
Robin Sarac

I am wondering if it is possible to change from SQL Server Enterprise Evaluation Version to Developer Version. The reason is because the Enterprise Evaluation version expires after 180 days. So if I create reports and cubes in Enterprise Evaluation I can import them into Developer Edition right? Should I remove the Enterprise Evaluation version after 180 days or leave it then install Developer Edition?

I have had SQL2005 on a server for a very short period of time. Today I found that I am not able to execute an SSIS package in debug. It give me an error stating that the evaluation period has expired for data transformation services. I went to check the version by querying, but nothing happens when I click on the Server Management Studio link.
Has anyone seen this before or how long the trial version should last?
Does anyone know what version may have been installed on my server?
Thanks,

I know this is old database but when I download this evaluation from microsoft website, I got problem installing it. First, I unzip it. By default, it is unzip to C:SQLEVAL. Then, I went to install it. I don't which file I should click. So, I double click the autorun file. When I did that, there is a screen, I saw the screen saying "microsoft SQL Server 2000 Evaluation version". Then, I click "SQL Server 2000 Components"
Then, it comes to next page, and I click "Install Database Server". But after I did that, nothing happens! After I click again the same thing all over again, it says "Another instance of setup is already running".
I'm using Window XP Professional. Anyone encounter this problem before? I tried to re-download the file and reinstall but also the same problem. Really need help. Thanks.

We downloaded and installed the trial software of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise edition a month ago. We have purchased a fully licensed version of SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and would like to apply the licensed version to our workstation clients since their SQL software will eventually expire. Our SQL Server is not an issue since we purchased a new Server and installed the new licensed version of SQL on it.
Is there an easy way to accomplish this or is an uninstall & reinstall of SQL on every workstation required?
Thanks,
ChrisB

I just received my licensed disks for upgrading my SQL Server 2005 Evaluation version to a fully licensed version. Do I simply run the two disks over top of the evaluation version or is it a little bit more complicated? Any input would be greatly appreciated. A little new to SQL.
Thanx

Hi all,
I have downloaded Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Evaluation Edition ISO from the following site and burned it onto a DVD.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=6931FA7F-C094-49A2-A050-2D07993566EC&displaylang=en
Prior to this I have installed Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edtion. During setup I have selected all the native client components i.e. Management Studio, Business Intelligense Studio. But after the install I am not able to see them under All Programs-> Microsoft SQL Server 2005. On further searching I have come across this link
http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=142941
First of all, there is no sqlrun_tools.msi under setup folder of the dvd. And also when I tried to change component from Add/Remove programs and following the instructions as specified on clicking Change Installed components all that I see are: Connectivity Components and Software Development kit.
Could someone tell me how can I install Management Studio/ Business Intelligence Studio seperately? I don't want to go through the process of re-installation.

Hi,
After publishing my ASP.NET application from my local development machine to a server, I cannot get it to attach the database file to the SQL Server instance. The SQL Server is full version 2005. The error I receive is:
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 25 - Connection string is not valid)
My connection string is:
<add name="WiggleITAdminDBConnectionString1" connectionString="Server=.MSSQLSERVER;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|ITAdmin.mdf; Database=ITAdmin;Trusted_Connection=Yes" />
My ASP.NET version information is:
Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.1433; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.1433
According to http://forums.asp.net/t/966680.aspx the full version of SQL Server 2005 doesn't allow the word AttachDbFilename.
Our DBA tells me that there are ways to attach .mdf & .ldf files to a full SQL Server instance. Does anyone know how?
Can anyone resolve this dillema? All help will be greatly appreciated.

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

I'm planning to transport a desktop application to the web. A spin-off ofthis application has already been put on the web by another programmer. Heused ColdFusion with MS SQL, Access, VC, and Java. It is faster than thedesktop application (written in VFP).1. Can I get the same results using MS SQL Express Advanced and Access forthe internet version if used with .net?2. Are the select statements limited in power, accuracy, size, etc. for MSSQL Express Advanced when compared to SQL?3. If Access will perform poorly, can VFP be used instead with .net? Ialready know it can't be used with ColdFusion. 4. If MS Express Advancedwill not sufficiently replace SQL, will MySQL do the job better?Thanks

Hi,
I've got an issue - A client required SQL 2005 for a new CRM package. They run SBS 2003 standard R2, so I ordered the upgrade to premium. No worries, but the developer needed SQL before the package arrived, so we installed the eval version, and then applied SP2 because this was needed for the CRM package.
Now the full version has arrived. I tried running setup both with and without SKUUPGRADE=1 and neither way will let me upgrade, stating that a later version is already in use.
I do have a good backup of the databases (I also have an entire image-based backup as well) but I don't want a disaster. My question:
Do I uninstall SP2 then upgrade to the RTM version of SQL2005 workgroup edition (the one with SBS2003 premium) or is there some other trickery required?
I'd prefer to get a smooth upgrade rather than ending up in a situation where I'd have to restore a heap of things.
Cheers,
Jeroen

SQL Server 2005 full version is installed on a server computer. I installed MS VS 2005 Express edition on the server. As VS 2005 Express edition can only access to SQL Server 2005 Express edition, so a SQL Server 2005 Express edition has to be installed on the server. I wonder if both SQL Server 2005 full version and Express edition can be installed in the same computer.
Thanks,
Yabing

Hi there,
I'm trying to install the common components for SQL 2005 on a server that already has Reporting Services 2005 installed on it. It keeps comng up with an error:
"To change an existing instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 to a different edition of SQL Server 2005, you must run SQL Server 2005 Setup from the command prompt and include the SKUUPGRADE=1 parameter."
The Reporting Services install has had SP2 applied to it, would that be what is messing up the install?
I have very little experience with SQL so any info would be helpful.
Thanks!

Is there any way to restore a database of higher version to lower version.
E.g. I have created a database in sql server 2012, created some tables & procedures in that.I took Full backup of that database. Can I restore it to sql 2008r2 or any lower version.
I know direct restore is not possible, I have to use either import or export option or generating script,but i want to know is there any easy step to do so.

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

Hello,I have been searching and reading a lots of information on the microsoft website about the different version of SQL server, but still can not make my decision.In term of performance, is there a real big difference between the workgroup and the standard version? The workgroup is limited to 3 GB of RAM while the standard is unlimited, would that really change the performance if my server has 16Gb or RAM?The price difference is pretty substantial so if could only have to buy the workgroup , it would be better.One more question, regarding the type of licence, my server has 2 processors, could I avoid buying 2 licences and get the Server plus CAL instead. I am using this server to host 4 web-application running on SQL server. Each database is about 15 MB.Thanks in adavance for your advises.Arno
