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
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
Stuart

and it's running in evaluation mode. I have a valid key and I've activated windows and upgraded to SP2, but I still get an 'about windows' dialog on startup and a watermark on the desktop. Is there any way tp upgrade to the full version?

Jun 6, 2006Hello, 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

Getting Started With SQL Server 2005 Eval Version
Oct 16, 2006I have been running SQL Server 2005 Express with the Management Studio Express. I just downloaded and installed the Eval (Trial) version of SQL Server 2005 but have not been able to get it working. Here are a couple of questions:1. Is there a potential confict with having both versions on my machine. I don't want to uninstall express since I may have to do back to it in 180 days.2. Is there a program comparable to the Management Studio for the Eval version of SQL Server 2005?3. How do I access the Eval version? I found the folder where it installed on my C drive but don't know what to do with it.Thanks for any help you can provide.

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

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,

Eval Between SQL 2000 32bit And SQL 2005 64bit
Oct 9, 2006Hi
I just started a new job and one of my first assignments was to determine and prove the improvement between SQL Server 2000 32 bit and SQL Server 2005 64bit extension. (Itanium may come later but for now we will live with x64)
I have used SQL 2005 before but only with a fresh install and a new application built from the ground up. Now we want to upgrade our present databases to 2k5. In a previous test by another DBA, he found the SQL 2005 ran slower. However, he realized that he was using SQL 2005 32bit on Windows 2003 64bit. Now we have everything in place, here are the steps I have accomplished so far.
Loaded Windows 2003 64 and SQL 2005 64.
Made a copy of an existing database from a SQL 2000 32 bit
Attached this database to the new SQL 2005 server. However, I keep the compatibility at 8.0.
Updated the statistics and backed the db up.
Had another DBA run a Profiler trace on the production server.
Replayed the trace on the new server.
My problem is this doesn€™t seem to give the information I am looking for. First, we were only looking at queries over 5 minutes and only looking at things from a duration standpoint. We are going to change this. Second, even though I created a template that looks like the one used on the production server, it is not using it.
So how do I compare performance on this 64bit server verses the 32bit SQL 2000. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Upgrading From SQL Server 2005 Standard Evaluation Edition To A Fully Licensed Version.

SQL 7.0 Evaluation To Full Version -- Help!
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,

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.

Upgrading Localized MSDE-server To The English Version Of SQL Server Express 2005?
Aug 6, 2007Hello,
at the moment I have the following problem:
We have installed a version of the MSDE 2000 Sp3 with our software since 2005. Now we install SQL Server Express 2005 in order to use the latest version and to be compatible with Vista.
We have never had any problems with the MSDE, so it was no problem that we installed the german version (by mistake) because there never was any output at installation time.
When we now upgrade the existing MSDE installing the new version of our software, there are often problems and there are error messages, unfortunately in german, which cannot be read by most of our international users.
The problem is, that there seems to be no possibility to upgrade the existing (german) MSDE with the english version of SQL Server Express 2005.
My question is, if it is possible to upgrade the german MSDE to the english SQL Server 2005 to enable our international users to read the error messages at installation time in english?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Peter
MS SQL Express Advanced Vs MS SQL Full Version Vs MySQL
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

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,
