Error Upgrading SQL Server 2005 From Standard Edition To Enterprise Edition (x64)

Apr 10, 2008

I am attempting to upgrade a 2005 Standard Edtion to Enterprise Edition. This is a default instance. All components are upgraded successfully except the Database Engine. I receive the following error:


SQL Server Setup has encountered the following problem: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]The certificate cannot be dropped because one or more entities are either signed or encrypted using it.. To continue, correct the problem, and then run SQL Server Setup again.


This installation does not have encryption enabled, so I do not undersand the error or how to correct it.

After rebooting the SQL instance appears to be upgraded to Enterprise, but it cannot be upgraded to SP2.

Thanks,

Upgrading MS SQL Server 7 SP4 Standard To 2005 Enterprise (Eval Edition)

Jun 6, 2006

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

Cannot Upgrade SQL Server 2005 Express To SP2 After Upgrading SQL Server 2005 Enterprise To SP2

Feb 18, 2008

How do I upgrade Sql Server 2005 Express to SP2 if I also have SQL Server 2005 Enterprise SP2 already on the same box? I installed Sql Server 2005 Enterprise first, then applied SP2, then installed Visual Studio 2008 (which installed SQL Server 2005 Express).

When I try to upgrade Sql Server 2005 Express to SP2 using the special Express edition of SP2, I get an error message that says "None of the selected features can be installed". I end up having to cancel the install of SP2.

I'm left with SQL Server 2005 at level 9.0.3054 and SQL Server 2005 Express at 9.0.3042. How can I bring SQL Server Express 2005 to the same level as SQL Server 2005 Entperprise?

Jan 4, 2008



Not sure if this was posted but having a hard time finding an answer.
I'm currently running sql server 2000 enterprise edition on my machine and was wondering what would happen if i installed 2005 express edition and vice versa? I've found many blogs and post about compatibility issues with the 2005 Express Beta version but couldn't find any news with full version. It would be much appreciated if someone can help me out with this problem.
Thanks!

Problems Upgrading SQL Server 2005 X64 Evaluation To SQL Server 2005 X64 Enterprise

Oct 25, 2007

I first tried installing the DVD and of course it told me I must use the command prompt installation method to include the line SKUUPGRADE=1. I found good references to this in the following links:

http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2208593&SiteID=1

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259.aspx


Below is the command I issued at the command prompt:

start /wait d:serverssetupsetup.exe ADDLOCAL=ALL INSTANCENAME=URHCS63SQL2005DSS UPGRADE=SQL_Engine SKUUPGRADE=1 /qb


My servername is URHCS63 and my instance is SQL2005DSS.

When I execute this command, a installation dialog box opens briefly and then disappears and nothing else happens. Here are the results of the bootstrap log file:

Any ideas on why this is not working for me?

Windows CE 5 Device With SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition Sync With SQL Server 2005 Express Edition

Oct 25, 2007

I have:

A server computer running SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition.

A industrial computer running SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.

And now also a Psion WorkAboutPro with CE 5 that should run SQL Server Compact Edition.



The industrial computer syncs its data with the server, basically saying "this has happened".

Now I want the Psion to sync with the industrial computer, but this sync must two-way.



I have tried to find a guide or something that can tell me "do this to sync" but the information i have found is sketchy at best.



If someone could point me in the right direction of a guide or something else it would be much appreciated.

Replicating From SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition To Remote SQL Server 2005 Express Edition

Aug 13, 2007

Hello,

I have been unable to create a replication from an SQL Server 2005 standard edition database to remote SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. The remote express edition is on a Virtual Private Server we are leasing from a hosting company. The name of the remote DB is similar to vs572.si-vs572.com. I can connect to this with SQL server authentication through Management Studio and also with SSIS. But, I have been unable to create a push subscription (I have tried a test push subscription with the same publication to a local SQL Express server here in our office and this works fine).


Here is the error message: SQL Server Replication requires the actual server name to make a connection to the server. Connections through server alias, IP address, or any other alternate name are not supported. Specify the actual server name, 'VS572SQLEXPRESS'.

The hosting company had originally installed a shared SQL server which would not support replication. They then installed SQL Express edition and I was hoping this would allow us to run a replication.

I tried to connect to VS572SQLEXPRESS with out any luck. I check the remote connections, made sure replication was installed, etc., but no luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,
Albert

Upgrading To SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition?

May 16, 2007

Hi I currently have this edition of SQL server on my laptop:

Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.2039 (Intel X86)
May 3 2005 23:18:38
Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation
Desktop Engine on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)

It is running on SQL Server Management Studio 2005.

I wish to upgrdade to Developer Edition (as my laptop won't support Enterprise as it's running on Windows XP).

I have some questions, which I would be grateful if somebody could help answering:

1- will all my database remain as they are?
2- Will I loose any functionality?
3- Will it upgrade or intstall a separate edition?
4- Can anybody recommend where to purchase Developer 2005 edition?
5- I currently have 2gb capped database limit on my version, will I get a no capped limit?
6- Will the 2gb Capped limit increase to uncapped once I install (i.e. can i use my previous 2gb database and add more data to above 2 gb)

The main issues are that I need an uncapped limit for my DB's and that I will keep my existing db's.

Many thanks!!!!!

Verify LicenseType After Upgrading From SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Evaluation/Trial

Jun 27, 2006

I upgraded a MS SQL 2005 Enterprise Evaluation/Trial to MS SQL 2005 Standard Edition with 5 User CAL.

I used the following command to upgrade:

start /wait setup.exe ADDLOCAL=SQL_Engine INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER UPGRADE=SQL_Engine SKUUPGRADE=1 PIDKEY=<mykey> /qb

Once complete, "select SERVERPROPERTY('LicenseType')" returns DISABLED, but I expected that it would return PER_SEAT.

Thankfully, after the upgrade it does show EDITION=Standard Edition.

Questions:

1. How do I verify the license installed is the Client Access License of 5?

-- SQL Server 2005 does not seem to have the same SQL Licence control panel as did SQL 2000. It is not listed under Control Panel -> Licensing (only thing listed is 'Windows Server') nor under Administrator Tools -> Licensing.

2. How do you add CALs or change license type in SQL 2005?

-- I was also puzzled that I was not asked during setup of the license mode and/or number of licenses ( I did not get this on a fresh install of SQL 2005 SE either ).

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Ajay

I really appreciate any respond from you guys.. Thank's and waiting for the good news..

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

Change From Developer Edition To Enterprise Edition Of SQL Server 2005 64 Bit

May 20, 2008

We have an existing installation of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition (64bit) that we are ready to go live with and would like to change the edition to Enterprise Edition (64bit). We have purchased all the appropriate licenses. We would like to avoid UN-installing the Developer Edition and RE-installing the Enterprise Edition. There must be some way to change a registry key, provide your serial number via a command line utility or re-run the setup with the license key provided and direct it to just change the edition from Developer to Enterprise and not change any of the other settings like service account, sa account, collation, etc. Any help is most appreciated.


Thank you,

Upgrade From SQL Server 2005 Express To 2005 Enterprise Fails

Hi

I am trying to upgrade SQL Server 2005 Express to SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition.
(As a Preparation to install SQLServer2005 Service Pack 2 (CTP))

I tried to upgrade a particular Instance (OFFICESERVERS, which was based on SQL Server 2005 Express ).

During the upgrade I get a message saying that ...

.....Your upgrade is blocked because of edition upgrade rules.....

SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition

Jul 6, 2007

Working on some performance issues at the database end, our team observed, that the query execution done by SQL Server 2005 was done by using only one processor in our application. The stored procedures are written in T-SQL and have a dedicated Database Server, running SQL Server 2005.
Our tests lead to the following observations;
SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition was executing stored procedures using only 1 processor, when it is a multiple processor Server.
Apart from this the stored procedure execution is very linear.
We would like to have your suggestions on the same.
Regards,
Girish

Upgrading Localized MSDE-server To The English Version Of SQL Server Express 2005?

Aug 6, 2007

Hello,

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

Installing SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition When Express 2005 Is Already On Server

Sep 30, 2007

I need to install SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition on a new Windows Server 2003 machine that has SQL Server 2005 Express Edition installed by a backup application (Backup Exec). Will I need to uninstall the express edition in order to install the standard edition? Can the two coexist as separate instances or will the standard edition installation simply upgrade the express installation?

Thanks
