Upgrade From Eval To Full Version
Aug 3, 1999Hi 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

Upgrade From SQL Server Standard Version To Enterprise Version
Nov 8, 2007Can 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

How To Upgrade To Other Version
Feb 6, 2007Hi 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.

Live DB Version Upgrade
Jun 13, 2001I 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.

Jul 14, 1999I 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,

Upgrade From 2000 To 2005, Version Still Says 8.0.2039
Oct 13, 2006I 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.

Upgrading SQL Express: Is It Possible To Restrict To Which Version Upgrade Is Possible?
Aug 15, 2007
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,

Using Attachdbfilename In SQL Server Full Version
Feb 14, 2008Hi,
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.

Jul 23, 2007I'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

SQL Server 2005 Standard Eval Upgrade To Licensed Version
Sep 13, 2007Hi 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
SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Eval Upgrade To Licensed Version
Sep 7, 2007
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

Upgrading SQL2005 SP2 Eval To Full Version Issues
Sep 1, 2007
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 SP2 Command Line Upgrade Switch And Express Version Detection
Mar 9, 2007Our 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.

Install Both SQL Server 2005 Full Version && Express Edition
May 8, 2008SQL 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,

How To Upgrade One Of A Multi-instance SQL2K5 DEVELOPER Versions To Standard Version With SP1 Applied?
Oct 11, 2006hello 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.
Installing Full Version Of 2005 Server On A Machine That Already Has Reporting Services On It
Jan 7, 2008Hi 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!
