First question: I have sql server 2005 enterprise eval edition installed. is there a query, command or tool can tell me the exact expiration date? I understand it is 180 day but I still want some way to query the exact date.
Second question: does sql server log any warning message before eval expires?
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 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.
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

I 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.

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
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
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

Have the 2005 Enterprise Evaluation version. Trying to import data from a flat file to DB table. Tried running wizard from designer studio and from creating a data flow in SBIDS
Either way I am able to setup and start excution and then bombs with a fatal error.
"SQL Server Import and Export Wizard has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
Asks to Debug or close.. Tried installing on 2 other machines and having same issue. Tried several different data files and tables same issue.
Does anyone know if this is a bug? Am I missing something with permissions?
Thanks

I have two tables totally unrelated but give the same information, the difference is the duration. I need to create a stored procedure that will give the recent issue dates only, accept if they have already expired. I'm not exactly sure how to do that. We only want the employees to see the current issue date as long as the exclusion has not expired. Can anyone help please. What needs to happen is that the employees need to see only the exclusions that have expired which is based on the Expiration Date.

I have a question on how the retain parameter works for Backups. If I have a nightly full backup for a database and have retain = 10, does that mean on the 11th day the very first backup will be purged? Will the 11th backup attempt to take up some of the space that was occupied by that first backup? It seems that the 11th backup would be too large for the space that the first backup was taking up. I am fairly new to backups with SQL Server and want to ensure I am setting this up properly. Our goal is to keep backups for 10 days only.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a table containing several date fields in which certain events happened, and I need to be able to find the expiration date for renewal. The expiration dates are at the end of the 6th, 12th, or 24th month after the event occurred, depending on the event.
Is there a way to return in a query the last day of month x following a date field? For instance, if the date '3/12/2006' is stored in the field for a 12-month expiration, I need to return '3/31/2007'.
Any ideas?
Hi There
This may seem like a stupid question but i am trying to get the hang of the new security model.
I have not really heard anything mentioned about certficate expiration date when it comes to creating certificates for keys or service broker endpoints etc.
We have created certificates for keys and service broker endpoints, now what exactly happens when the expiration date, by default 1 year i think is reached, will we no longer be able to decrypt encrypted data and will the service broker endpoints stop working etc ?
Or is this expiration date when the certificate can no longer be used to create security objects ? And all security objects already created with this certificate will always work ?
In other words is there ever danger that keys and endpoints or basically any object referrencing this certificate will just suddenly stop working one day, or will all objects work indefinately regardless of an certificate/objects expiration date ?
Thanx
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 ?
I would like to filter records with in effective date and expiration date; If there is no record within that range, then check for grace period records ( effective date -30 days and expiration date + 90 days)
Below is the detailed script for sample data...
declare @tab table ( sno int identity, name varchar(100), EFFECTIVE_DATE date, EXPIRATION_DATE date)
insert into @tab (name, EFFECTIVE_DATE , EXPIRATION_DATE )
SELECT 'chandu', GETDATE(), NULL union all
SELECT 'chandu', '2014-02-11 00:00:00' , '2014-03-20 00:00:00' union all
SELECT 'AAA', '2014-01-11 00:00:00' , '2014-05-11 00:00:00' union all
[Code] ...
Output:
/*
snonameEFFECTIVE_DATEEXPIRATION_DATE

I have configured a Linked Server with Active Directory (LDAP), working properly.
Now, through this Linked Server, I need information about password expiration date in my AD Domain accounts.
We need to use SQL Server Authentication for some reason and would like to enforce Password Policy with 90-day expiration period. I found "Change password" dialogue appears when I first logged in with the new user, but don't know
(1)what happens when the user failed to change the password before it's expired or
(2)how a user can change his password in advance of the expiration date with no particular server-level permission.

I am having a pretty major problem with my SQL server. Everytime that I try to query the database I receive a timeout expired error. Even trying to open the query anylyzer, it presents me with that error. We have a we based ISP management solution and it cannot access the SQL either. This was an all the sudden problem and I have ran the performance monitor to try and look at the statistics. Everything seems like it is checking out. I even tried increasing the Timeout up to 20 seconds and it still will not function properly. Any suggestions?

View 4 Replies View Related Hi,
Description: In the past I had an issue with the replication that suddenly became expired (no reason at all) and I had to re-do the whole thing from scratch. This is a transactional replication (SQL2.5K -> SQL2.5K) and the subscriber is used as warehouse where applications also inserting data (with neg. seed values for the PKs). This means applying the snapshot from the publisher is not applicable because there are data which will be lost from subscriber.
Question: Since the applying snapshot is not an option for reinitializing the subscription (initially was created without snapshot - from the backup and restore is not applicable at this stage) I need to find implementation way for two things:
1. I need subscription never get marked as expired (I did disable job "Expired subscription clean up" but still the replication can be marked as expired from the "Distribution clean up" job which I am not suppose to disable - this has different function as well - cleaning up the delivered transactions)
2. Safely dropping articles from the publication without applying snapshot to the subscriber (see reason above - num.1). If you force to drop the articles, does this mean that the subscription will be marked as expired after period of time? (This again will lead to problems as above).
Please, give me your opinion and/or best practices how to solve these problems. Other than that I am very happy with the improvements in the replication domain in SQL 2005.
Regards,
Zlatko
Setup:
SQL Server 2005 -> Merge pull subscription via HTTPS -> public retention
period is 7 days
Question:
If for some reason I don't synzhronize in 7 days (lets say the Internet is
down for whatever reason), can I reinitialize the subscription on day 9 and
still upload changes to the publisher or not?
I'm guessing the latter based on this:

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.

We are seeing this message because we enabled some DBCC trace flags to try and figure out why our clients are having their connections terminated to the SQL 2005 (x64) server we have in production. It appears that the establishment of SSL is taking a very long time according to the log entry. What is using SSL? I'm assuming it is trying to communicate with one of my domain controllers and I'd like to know what perfmon counters i should watch to see what's going on. Is it making an LDAPS connection or kerberos? Or native ntlm?
We've already updated the NIC drivers/firmware and disabled the TcpChimney setting mentioned in the KB articles, but nothing so far has had an effect. I'm now trying to figure out if my DC is overloaded but don't know what counters to look at.

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.
