I am wondering if it is possible to change from SQL Server Enterprise Evaluation Version to Developer Version. The reason is because the Enterprise Evaluation version expires after 180 days. So if I create reports and cubes in Enterprise Evaluation I can import them into Developer Edition right? Should I remove the Enterprise Evaluation version after 180 days or leave it then install Developer Edition?

What can I do about this? There doesn't seem to be any workaround, I've upgraded everything, including the Msiexec to 3.2 (v2), but the same error always pops up.
I've done other installs of the same product without any problem whatsoever.
Can anyone help?

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
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 All,
WE were using SQL Server 2005 Evaluation Edition having one user database created for application testing and also using reporting services for dashboard purposes.
Now our Evaluation period ended However we have already purchased SQL Server 2005 standard license for actual implimentation.
Can anyone guide me step by step how to seamlessly upgrade from evaluation version to the license version of SQL Server 2005 standard.
its somewhat urgent so i request quick help on this
Thanks in advance.
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?
View 9 Replies View RelatedWe 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,

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

Hi all,
I have downloaded Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Evaluation Edition ISO from the following site and burned it onto a DVD.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=6931FA7F-C094-49A2-A050-2D07993566EC&displaylang=en
Prior to this I have installed Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edtion. During setup I have selected all the native client components i.e. Management Studio, Business Intelligense Studio. But after the install I am not able to see them under All Programs-> Microsoft SQL Server 2005. On further searching I have come across this link
http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=142941
First of all, there is no sqlrun_tools.msi under setup folder of the dvd. And also when I tried to change component from Add/Remove programs and following the instructions as specified on clicking Change Installed components all that I see are: Connectivity Components and Software Development kit.
Could someone tell me how can I install Management Studio/ Business Intelligence Studio seperately? I don't want to go through the process of re-installation.

Hello all,
I'm getting this error when installing SQL Express 2005 on a non-English version of Vista.
"SQL Server Setup could not validate the service accounts. Either the service accounts have not been provided for all of the services being installed, or the specified username or password is incorrect. For each service, specify a valid username, passowrd, and domain, or specify a built-in system account."
Using Wise I get this error only when installing on a non-English version of Windows Vista, I can get the install to complete if I remove nt/authority. I've tried changing the non-English versions of Vista localization to English but I still get the same error.
Any help would be great.
Thank you
The version of the report server database is either in a format that is not valid, or it cannot be read. The found version is 'C.0.8.54'. the expected version is 'C.0.8.40'. To continue, update the version of the report server database and verify access rights. I'm getting this whenever try to access the report server via SSMS, I have tried to upgrade via the Reporting Service Configuration Manager but get an error message similar to above except it says: The database version (C.o.8.54) does not match your Reporting Services installation. This version of the database cannot be upgraded. You must use a different database. Has anyone seen this before? I can create a new database, but don't want to loose all my reports. Any ideas. Oh, not even sure if the backups exist from before this error, I've spent 2 weeks trying to get access to the server so I could try to upgrade, only to get the above results. Thanks for your help, David

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,

This will become a recommendation for my customer; we are struggling with performance on this new install which is temporarily done with the Evaluation version and I see a Service Pack has been published. Please advise?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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 the trial version of SQL Server 2005 installed and have setup a couple of databases. This trial version will expire in another few weeks.

I have SQL Server 2005 enterprise version, which I managed to install on my desktop which has xp home version operating system.
Now when I installed SQL Server 2005 enterprise on either my two laptops one has a XP-Pro and the other windows server 2003 operating systems.
The problem is that when I tried logging on sql server 2005 on either laptops, it prompts me to enter a server name and when I type in the name I believe is the server name it rejects it
During installation on the two laptops I remember seeing a warning on 1 out of 24 components/setups that sql server2005 installs. The warning was something to do with Server client. This warning never came up when I installed the same version on my desktop.
Please help €“ I am tearing head over this as I have spent the last two nights trying to get it to work on both laptops.

Hi All,
I had installed a beta version of SQL Server (SQL Server 2005 CTP) and now I want to install a full version of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition on my machine. I have properly uninstalled all the CTP componenets from Add-Remove programs and even deleted the registry data of that installation. I have also removed the related folders from the hard drive.
When I run the setup of the full version it says that setup has detected the beta versions of either .Net Framework, Visual Studio or SQl Server. Remove the beta components using Add-Remove programs and try again. Can anyone help me out of this problem?

Sachin
Hi 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!
I 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 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.
