I have a 32-bit evaluation edition installed on my 64-bit server. I have purchased a license for 64-bit enterprise edition. Can I upgrade from the 32-bit eval edition to the 64-bit enterprise edition? If I can - should I? Is the better approach to install a new named instance of the 64-bit enterprise edition - the 32-bit eval edition is an unnamed instance. All guidance is appreciated.
Thanks.
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

We've got a SQL 2000 Server running the Enterprise 120-day trial.Normally you can retain the information by upgrading it to the full-blown version of Enterprise edition. However, we have decided to gowith the Standard version instead. Will I need to BACKUP the data anddo a complete install then RESTORE or can I "upgrade" it to Standard?Has anybody actually done this?

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.
Anywhere I can download sql 2000 server enterprise edition eval? I have a database running 2000 standard, wanted to test on 2000 enterprise to see if increased memory and enterprise edtion will help. With the intro of 2005, I can not find 2000 enterprise eval.

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

Looking for the best practice to upgrade a soon to expire MSSQL 2005
evaluation server to a standard production server? I understand
the license requirements. I have good backups of the
databases.
Should i just pop in a MVL mssql2005 cd and perform an in place
upgrade? Or completely remove the eval version and install clean?
Will i have to redo any SQL users i have added on this server?
Thanks for any help. If anyone has a link to a KBB article i
would be happy to read that on my own as well, i just havent been able
to locate one.
Hello, you all,
I did all the stuff necessary for the upgrading (the Upgrade Advisor didn't say anything special), but the Setup says the following:
"
Name: Microsoft SQL Server 7.00.1063
Cause: The update is blocked. You can obtain more informations in the online help "Versions- and editionsupdates".
Editions problem:
The update is blocked because of rules for the editions update.
"
Is it possible that an upgrade is not possible with the evaluation edition? Or can there be another cause?
Thanks in advance

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
I have been testing and developing with Sql 2005 enterprise eval. Now ready to deploy, and we have purchased a "device" and 5 "cal" licenses for each box. What is the recommended procedure for applying Sql 2005 "standard" licenses to existing boxes having 2005 enterprise eval. installed? I do not want to delete and re-install sql server if at all possible!
Thanks!

I have a SQL Server 2005 evaluation that has already been installed and setup on a server. I believe it originally had a 180 day eval. There have been numerous databases and users added as well as maintenance plan created...
The eval was put on the machine as an interim solution while waiting for paper work and order processiing things to happen. All the paperwork and ordering... have been completed and I now have the real SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition license key ....
I am very new to SQL Server and need to determine ...
1. Can I update the eval copy to become permanently licensed?
2. Would I want to upgrade the eval to permanent? Will I lose any capabilities by keeping the current eval setup?
If it is reasonable to keep the eval setup
3. How do I go about entering the license key to make it permanent?
If it is necessary to install the new Standard Edition...
4. How do I install it while maintaining the already defined databases, data, users, maintenance plan...
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Whats going on
I upgraded a server from trial to Enterprise
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
Hey,
I tried the skuupgrade=1 and it appeared to want to install a whole new instance. This operation was supposed to recognise what to upgrade and what instance to do (there is only one). Can some send me some detailed instructions on how to upgrade my sql 2005 developer edition to the enterprise edition?
thanks

I just upgraded for MDSE 1 (came with VB 6 Pro and inculded Enterprise Manager) to MSDE 2000. After the upgrade, Enterprise Manager was removed.
Is there an Enterprise Manager availble for MSDE 2000, or a similar tool out there?
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
right now I'm using SQL2000 Std Edition. Our new application requires an OLAP Svcs to be installed. As I found in SQLBooksOnline HTTP access to OLAP cubes is available only in OLAPSvsc Enterprise Edition. Do I have to upgrade SQL Std Edition as well or it is possible to run OLAP Enterprise on top of SQL2000 Standard? Does anyone of you know about step-by-step guide how to move SQL2K Std to SQL Ent?
Thanks in advance for help

I'm installing SQL 2005 on a cluster. Currently we do not need the features of enterprise edition, but we may need them in the future. Can you upgrade Standard edition to Enterprise edition (on a cluster)?
View 3 Replies View RelatedAs I found on http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143393.aspx its only possible on 32 Bit subsystems and not on native 64 bit - is this true?
In addition is it a complete installations which remains the current configuration? (i guess this because we have to apply all service packs again)?
and at least - is a license upgarde possible or do we have to buy a complete new licence?
Thanks HANNES
Hi,
Can someone please help me? I recently upgraded from SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Evaluation Version (x64) to SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Version (x64). While the components: Database Engine, Analysis Services, Workstation Components have been upgraded. I can still see that Reporting Services is still in the Evaluation Version. Integration Services is no where to be found.
Regardless, I wanted to add Integration Services but on the System Configuration Check, I am getting the following error: Edition Change Check: 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. So regardless of this message, I clicked Next, selected Integration Services and then it tells me that it has already been installed.
Anyway, I exit out of set-up. Try to create a new Integration Services project and I get the following error.
Unable to cast COM object of type 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper.PackageNeutralClass' to interface type 'Microsoft.SQLServer.DTS.Runtime.Wrapper.IDTSContainer90'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '8BDFE892-E9D8-4D23-9739-DA807BCDC2AC}' failed due to the following error: Library not registered. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8002801d (TYPE_E_LIBNOTREGISTERED)).

When upgrading servicepack for SQL Server 7 in a Windows 2000 cluster, do I need to uncluster the servers before installing SP?
Install on Node 1 first?
The upgrade works fine if the instance starts on SP2. But the instance has the hotpatch applied and is running build 3200. When I try the upgrade against the 3200 version it errors out with the following message:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup
------------------------------
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.
My question is:
if I upgrade from standard to enterprise on Version: 9.00.3042 it upgrade perfectly well but if I try to upgrade from Version: 9.00.3200 version, it gives the error message.
let me know if anyone can solve the issue at cqldba@gmail.com
Hi All
I'm after some advice, I am looking for the best way to do this:
I have a SQL 2000 Clustered Virtual Instance which is of course Enterprise Edition as it is clustered. I need to upgrade to 2005, but dont need the 2005 Enterprise features, Standard will do, as this supports clustering.
The restrictions are that you cant upgrade 200Ent to 2005Std.
As this is a fairly complex environment, it has a default instance running on node 1 and a named instance running on node 2
I dont particularly want to uninstall both 2000 instances, and then install new 2005 instances
So is it possible to upgrade to 2005 ent, and then downgrade to standard. I have seen a suggestion without any details, that there is an undocumented sp, sp_update_resume, that might do this. Does anyone know about this
Or does anybody have any other suggestions. (the names of the instances have to be the same, as the existing instances)
Thanks in advance

Randy,
I did run upgrade advisior to check the existed sql 2005 standard edition to upgrade to enterprise editon. I got the following error message:
SQL Server version: 09.00.1399 is not supported by this release of Upgrade Advisor
Is it means the upgrade advisor can only work on from 7.0, 2000 to 2005? If I need check from standard to enterjprise in 2005, what kind of tool I can use?
I'm try to upgrade SQL Server 2005 Evaluation with tuned up and worked merge replication.
- I'm insert disk with licensed SQL Server 2005 Enterprise, start installation - in process, indicate instance for installing, in list of options appears I see option "ugrade"
- All passes fine and go on:
After upgarde I'm get completely broken merge replication!
Moreover, such feeling that certain strange troubles with SQL Agent:
all points context menu in Replication Monotor - disabled and if I try to start replication manually through jobs - too failed - with some error "agent shutdown" !
I'm try to build "clear" situation: install in Virtual PC Windows 2003 Ent SP1, SQL 2005 Eval and setup my test replication and upgrade SQL Server to Enterprise version - and get same trouble too!!!
What the best way to uprade my evaluations sql servers with replication to licensed version SQL Ent?

View 4 Replies View RelatedCurrent set-up: three node cluster running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP2 with two instances of SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition SP2.
Virtual node 1: Standard Edition, default instance, Database Engine only
Virtual node 2: Standard Edition, named instance, Database Engine, Analysis Services and Integration Services
Physical node A: Prefered node for virtual node 1
Physical node B: Failover node for both virtual node 1 and 2 (thus having two installations of Standard Edition)
Physical node C: Prefered node for virtual node 2
We started off with this set-up because there was no need for Enterprise features, and SQL 2005 supports failover clustering with two nodes in Standard Edition. Saved a bundle of cash, so everybody's happy. Now we need to run a solution on virtual node 2 that requires Enterprise features in Analysis and Integration Services, so an edition upgrade is required on virtual node 2. I have done some research and found several edition upgrade examples, but none that match the above scenario. We are running production on these machines, so I can't risk experimenting with command line options, I have to be right the first time.
Is it possible to mix two editions of SQL Server 2005 in one cluster? Can I upgrade virtual node 2 to Enterprise but leave virtual node 1 at Standard? What procedure do I have to follow to upgrade all three components of virtual node 2 to Enterprise Edition on both physical node B and C?
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Hi people
Here is my case: I've a server running Windows server 2003 edition and SQL2000.
I've installed SQL2005 using the side-by-side method as described by MSFT docs. I've then copied the mdf & ldf files to new locations and attached the db in SQL 2005 management studio. Every thing fine. Next, I've migrated the DTSs using the DTS migration wizard. After this step I have some bad warnings in windows:
When I restart the server I get the following message: "mmc.exe Microsoft Management Console encountered a problem and needed to close".
Furthermore: I can't start the old SQL enterprise manager.
It shows another error "mmc.exe - Entry point Not Found" and closes it self.
The MSFT support page on this error relates it to Windows XP but my system is running Windows server....
Any one has any idea why this is happening?
Any suggested course of action?
Many thanks

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
