I am running the SQL server 2000 evaluation edition... and enterprise manager..does anyone know if this really expires....or can I keep playing around with it forever???same for enterprise manager...
View 1 RepliesFor testing purposes only, I'd like to install SQL Server 2000 Evaluation Edition on a server. From what I've read, this edition is a full Enterprise Edition, but it will expire after 160 days. But is it a full edition in the sense that users can connect to it when it's installed on a server, like if it was the Enterprise Edition? So far, I've only had it installed at local computers outside any network.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI downloaded the SQL Server Evaluation Edition from Microsoft.com in ISO form and burned a CD using Nero 7. I have tried to install the program, but I keep getting the error:
"the procedure entry point_create_locale could not be located in the dynamic link library MSVCR80.dll"
I have tried to reinstall Native Client and Setup Support Files with no effect... I have .NET 2.0 installed along with VB Express 2005 and VWB Express 2005... I am running on Windows XP Home SP2.
If anyone could help me, I would greatly appreciate it... I am stuck and can't get any work done until I get this program installed...

I am currently using SQL Server Enterprise Evaluation which runs out after 6months. When this happens or even sooner I plan to install SQL Server Developer.
My questions is can I copy all the things I develop (databases, cubes, reports,) from enterprise evaluation & import/load them into SQL Developer with no problems? Will everything integrate? Is there any implications?

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

We're going to set up a demo of an Analysis and Reporting server. Does the Evaluation Edition of 2005 come with things like the BI studio, Management Studio and other client-side tools?
Also, does anyone know if the Eval Analysis Services is the full product (e.g. semi-additive measures, ...?)
Thanks a bunch
Is there any way I can check the remaining time before I must upgrade
an SQL Server 2000 Evaluation Edition? I thought I had made a note about
which day it was.
Can I rely upon the file date for uninstallation file in Programs/etc ?
Hi,
where can i see how many days are left until the SQL 2005 Evaluation Edition expires after 180 days?
Hello,
Is there a way to find out many days you have left on the trial period or is there a way to find out when it was created. I get the feeling it will just not work one of these days and I'll have to figure out something on the fly.
Thank in advance
Does the evaluation download of SQL Server 2005 come with Enterprise Manager, it just doesn't seem to be installing it?
I was wondering if anyone else had download it and had a look and had hit the same problem?
We've been running report server 2005 for several years in development and production. I tried to move the database the other day and everything went fine, aside from creating the scheduled reports/sql jobs. Took a look at the log and it said that report server was in evaluation mode. How can I verify this information?
The version number under /ReportServer is 9.00.2047.00
But that is the same number as my development RS, which did a DB migration just fine.
It is also strange that it has continued to function for so long - if it is in fact an eval version.
Here is the log where things began to go wrong.

Hi everyone
I've just installed the microsoft's evaluation version of sql 2005 at my home computer.
Now i'm trying to connect ("sql sever management studio") but i dont know the server's name nor user name. I dont rememeber ever asked to produce any during the installation.
Bottom line- the evaluation version of sql server 2005 is installed but i cannot log in. How do i get to know my user name ? server name ? What ever i try i'm announced that the present version is not working for remote connections. I try to connect from the same very machine of the sql server. What is wrong ?
Thanks
Hi,
I have inherited a nice problem when starting a new role.
My SQL server has stopped and i get the 17051 error when i try to start the services, It is the evaluation copy. I do have a registered full copy on another box.
I really want to keep some of the databases i have been using in the test environment. They have not been backing up as the msdb DB became corrupt some time ago.
Is there any way i can get them moved to my other box.
CAn i reinstall SQL server (another eval copy) onto the duff box (keeping the db's) back them up and then move them
in a pickle
Cheers
Allan.
Hi,
Today my SQL Server Express suddenly stopped working. After a few hours troubleshooting I finaly found something in the Event Viewer/Application Errors: SQL Server evaluation period has expired...Isnīt the express edition supposed to be free?.
By the way: Windows did 27 automatic updates just before this happened. Might have something to do with it.
Is there a easy way to deal with this or do I have to reinstall and just hoping that I can restore my database?
Most greateful for any answers!
Johan
After unzipping the download I have run the splash.hta file. I then chose run the sql native client installation wizard. I then receive the installation package is not supported by this processor type. Contact your product vendor. I am installing this for a class I am taking on a test station. It is a PIII 863 with 512 MB or Ram, running windows 2003 enterprise server SP1. I have looked at the hardware guidelines and it seems this is enough to run it. Any ideas?

Hi I am trying to create stored proc and having some performance issue.
Here is the requirement,
Stored Proc parameters A,B
A is required.
B is optional. The default value for B is 0.
Here is the code inside stored proc:
IF (B = 0)
SET B = 1
SELECT * FROM TABLE1
INNER JOIN TABLE2 ON TABLE1.Column1 = TABLE2.Column1
WHERE A= 2008
AND (table2.ColumnB = B or 1 = B)
If I am passing B as 20 I am having performance issue to pull the data.
If I replace B with any other number the query is working fine.

Ehi
I have multiple development SQL Servers running Enterprise edition that I want to upgrade for application testing before upgrading our production system. All of the servers meet the hardware and software requirements for SQL Server 2005 Enterprise edition. However, when I try to install to use the SQL Server 2005 Evaluation Edition to upgrade the servers in place, I get the blocked upgrade message:
Name: Microsoft SQL Server 2000
Reason: Your upgrade is blocked. For more information about upgrade support, see the "Version and Edition Upgrades" and "Hardware and Software Requirements" topics in SQL Server 2005 Setup Help or SQL Server 2005 Books Online.
Edition check:
Your upgrade is blocked because of edition upgrade rules. For more information about edition upgrades, see the Version and Edition Upgrades topic in SQL Server 2005 Setup Help or SQL Server 2005 Books Online.
Can the Evaluation Edition be used to upgrade these servers or do you need the full blown version?
thanks
Hi,
I found the proper page for download of the SQL Server 2005 Evaluation and I went through the steps of registering, setting up an account, etc. When I am redirected back to the page where I can theoretically now download the installation, there are two downloads available: ReadmeSQL2005.htm and RequirementsSQL2005.htm - But not the actuall installation file. Am I missing something, ot is something just missing?

I downloaded the SQL Server 2005 Evaluation setup .exe. When I wen to install it by clicking "SQLEVAL.EXE", I received an eror stating "There is not enough space on Drive C: to extract this package.
I have over 50 gig of available spac eon my C drive. What gives?
When I downloaded the .exe, I had the Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect enabled. Could that have caused it? Also, 2 days ago, I installed MS-Accounting 2007. Could that have caused a problem?
I have seen this error posted on the SS2005 forums and the standard response is to look at the installation logs. I have no logs. The extraction never completed.
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.

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.

BTW, I am prety new to sql server and databases , I am trying to learn by myself
