I have 3 servers with SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer edition. And I have a replication setup between those servers (Transaction & Merge).
If I go to upgrade it to 2008 R2 Standard edition service pack 1, does this affect the current replication setup?
Current SQL Server version : SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer edition
Expecting SQL Server version : SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard edition

I have SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP3) - 10.50.6220.0 Express Edition (64bit).
I have upgrade my Express edition to SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition.
At first I used "SQL Server Installation Center" and run "Upgrade from SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2008 or SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2012".
All procedures for upgrade is fine.
Later I run Maintenance-Edition Upgrade in order to upgrade my edition wit Express to Standard Edition.
All procedures for upgrade are fine, SSMS view - SQL Server 2012 (SP3) (KB3072779) Standard Edition (64 bit), but SQL Server Services in SQL Server Configuration Manager is old (example - SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)). Why is the SQL Server service not updated? What have I done wrong?
I currently have SQL server 2008 R2 Express installed for my QA/Dev environment on Amazon EC2 instance.
Now my database is growing beyond the 10GB limitation of Express edition, so am planning to buy SQL server 2014 Developer edition.
So can i upgrade my SQL Express 2008 R2 to SQL server 2014 Developer Edition, if yes what is the procedure?
Yes you can upgrade. Check this Upgrades from Earlier Versions to SQL Server 2014
Yes you can Upgrade Sql-Server 2008r2 to 2014 developer edition.
First of all restoring backup will not upgrade your database. So,
1) Microsoft SQL Server 2014 installation setup provide options to upgrade your database either from 2008 R2 or from 2012. This will preform all the process and provide information if your database is upgradeable or you required to make some changes to your old database. After that you can proceed to upgrade database from 2008 R2 to 2014.
My recommendation would be to install SQL Server 2014 instance and then backup and migrate database from SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2014
2) There are other third party tools that will preform all the necessary processes and messaging before upgrade.

Basically this is a backwards compatibility question - our report server is SQL Server Enterprise, and all our Production Servers are going from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2008 R2, so will our reports server need to be upgraded to link to the new R2 production servers?
Thanks in advance!
I need to restore backup taken from SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2008 R2 Express edition. Is it possible ?
You can only restore backups to servers running the same or higher version. Normally you can restore backups on SQL Express that were made on servers running other editons (Standard, Enterprise, ...) as long as the database size is not greater than the max size supported by SQL Server Express (10GB on latest versions).
In your case, the backup was made on a server running SQL Server 2008 R2 (version 10.50) and you are trying to restore it to a server running SQL Server 2008 (version 10.00).
In SQL Server 2005 and later, some Enterprise Edition–only features make a database Enterprise Edition–only (i.e., it can’t be restored on a Standard Edition or lower SQL Server system) if the features are present in the database.
