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!

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
-I have istalled sql server 2005 standard edition , I want to install sql server 2005 enterprise edition on the same machine.
Is it possible? I have Microsoft windows server 2003 SP2 and 1GB RAM.
I want to use partition function with the enterprise edition, will the trial version of sql server work for me?
-If I have already created a database and tables using the standard edition, will I be able to access and use the database using the installed trial version or will I have to start a fresh creating a new database?
- Is it possible to access the same database with any of the installed versions?
BTW, I am prety new to sql server and databases , I am trying to learn by myself
Thanks
Dear All,We have a database which contains many tables which have millions ofrecords. When We attach the database with MS SQL Server 2005 StandardEdition Server and run some queries (having joins, filters etc.) thenthey take very long time to execute while when We execute same querieson Enterprise Edition then they run 10 times faster than on standardedition.Our database does not use any features which are present in EnterpriseEdition and not present in Standard Edition. We want to know what arethe differences between Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition forperformance. Why should we go for Enterprise Edition when StandardEdition has all the features required.We are presently using evaluation versions of SQL Server 2005 Standardand Enterprise Editions.Thanks and regards,Nishant Sainihttp://www.simplyjava.com

Hi all--I'm researching the cleanest downgrade path from a trial edition of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise to a licensed Standard Edition copy. It looks like downgrading will entail uninstalling the old version and installing the new version, but I'd like to save the original setup as much as possible. Detaching the old databases will preserve the non-system databases; what method would work best for restoring the system databases?
Thanks!

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 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.

I installed SQL 2005 Standard edition on a failover cluster (Windows 2003). It is in production. Vendor wanted Enterprise Edition. What are my options to migrate to Enterprise? Is there an in-place way to do this, or is it a big deal?
Vendor probably doesn't need Enterprise. It's a low volume OLTP application with small databases. No fancy stuff (other than the failover clustering). Vendor simply did not test his application on Standard so he says we need Enterprise. Nevertheless, Management will probably want me to make the change.
Hi All !!
I have a Server on Development with SQL 2000 + Report Server 2000 and SQL 2005 Standard with Report Server 2005. All is working properly.
Now, my boss realized that it is important to use SQL 2005 Enterprise Edition instead of SQL 2005 Standard Edition. This is the first time I do this and I don't know where to start or which are the items that I should consider when installing SQL 2005 Enterprise Edition.
Should I uninstall SQL 2005 Standard?
After installing Enterprise, Report Server will work as usual?
Are there any items to have in mind?
Many Thanks!!
NetGrey.
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?
We want to licence a trail version 2005 Enterprise with an full version of MS Sql server 2005 standard. Is this possible?
View 1 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.

The enterprise edition of SQL server includes some advanced BI features, for example the fuzzy lookup feature of IS. If the IS package lives on an enterprise edition of SQL server and the database the package it is targeting lives on a standard edition of SQL server can the advanced features be used? Can you run a fuzzy look against a database on a standard edition of SQL server when th IS package lives on an enterprise edition of SQL server? THANKS!
View 1 Replies View RelatedI believe it is possible to restore databases from Enterprise edition to an enviroment with Standard edition. We have been able to do it on databases without any partitioned tables. But if a database has partitioned tables it will not start up in the Standard edition after a successful restore. The error log states that the database will not start because partitions are not allowed in Standard edition (which we knew). But we were led to believe that the databases would restore and open fine, the partitions would just not be there in Standard edition. Are we possibly doing something wrong or will this just not work?
Thanks

I found so many websites wrote that fuzzy grouping ,fuzzy lookup, term extraction, term lookup,Dimension processing destination adapter and Data mining model training destination adapter only available at Enterprise Edition.
Anyway i still can use these components at Standard Edition.
Is that any features different between these two edition for these components? Thanks

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
Is it possible to "convert" from SQL 7.0 Standard Edition to SQL 7.0 Enterprise Edition?
Thanks.
What's the best/easiest method to upgrade from Standard Edition to Enterprise Edition and still keep the databases in tact?
My thoughts were to:
1)Backup databases
2)Detach User Databases
3)Uninstall Standard
4)Install Enterprise
5)Restore Master and msdb
6)Reattach the User Databases
Comments?
How to know if it is standard or enterprise edition that a remote sql server is?
View 7 Replies View RelatedRecently, I worked on installing SQL Server 2000 into a clustered environement. I installed the Standard edition, tested it, and everything works fine. However, in reading some information on Enterprise Edition from Microsoft, I see where it says to install Enterprise Edition when using a clustered, or failover, environement. Can anyone give me a layman's explanation as to why this is? Everything is functioning just fine with the Standard Edition installed.
I really don't want to re-install if I don't have to.
Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,
My company is thinking of migrating from SQL Standard to Enterprise Edition. I am the dba--but not much experience in SQL. Not sure what I need to do if this projec falls onto my shoulder. Any advise will be very much appreciated. Thanks!!!
We have SQL 2005 standard edition and Reporting Services installed on the same server. We are now upgrading from standard to enterprise edition, so we ran setup and let it do its thing. This upgraded SQL Server without any problems but it failed to upgrade Reporting Services. We got a message saying "...set up did not have the administrator permissions required to copy a file: C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.5Reporting ServicesReport Server
ssrvpolicy.config...".
As we tried to upgrade reporting services using the same administrator account we cannot understand why this error would occur. From checking the version of SQL Server to Reporting Services we have 9.00.1399.06 on SQL Server and 9.00.1399.00 on Reporting Services so I presume this proves the upgrade did not work?
Has anyone got any idea what we need to do?
Thanks
