I know this question has been indirectly addressed, but I recently found the downloads for the 2012 and 2013 version of the SQL Server Data Tools for Business Intelligence. When running for the first time after install, a dialog popped up which indicated that the 30-day trial period had expired and that I had to sign in in order to continue using the application. I have an MSDN account so I signed in. Now when I re-start, I no longer get the dialog from before, presumably because license information was downloaded when I signed in before. So my question is Is a license required to use SSDT-BI or not? And if not, why was I required to sign in?
Here is the link with the downloads:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb522628(v=sql.120).aspx
I installed SQL Server 2014 and Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate, both with license. I activated them and then I installed the SSDT plugin for Visual Studio
I didn't sign and I'm pretty sure you're no required to do so unless you have an express visual studio/SQL server, which doesn't support data mining.
I hope I helped.
Best wishes,

I want to create a SQL Database project and manage my database as code (e.g. DevOps), but I am not sure what tools I can use for free within an enterprise.
How do I install and use SSDT without requiring paid licensing and violating any EULAs, such as Visual Studio Community Edition's?
In enterprise organizations (meaning those with >250 PCs or > $1M in annual revenue) no use is permitted...
This Microsoft article states that I can use SSDT in VS2019, but it doesn't tell me how to install it and not violate EULA.
This SSDT Download page is unhelpful and does not provide anything about licensing.
Also, I considered other tools, but looking at docs they don't seem comparable to SSDT:
Azure Data Studio - (cross-platform) new preview extension SQL Database Project supports DACPAC. I wasn't happy with my previous trial of this product. Maybe I'll give it another try in a couple years.
VS Code: Does not appear to have any extensions that directly support a SQL Database Project and/or DACPAC
Thanks to all of the answers, but I think I found what I was looking for in the Visual Studio Community Edition license: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/license-terms/mlt031819/
My understanding, is that this allows me to use Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition for SSDT tools in an enterprise setting.
You don't have to install SSDT in Visual Studio 2019, even in Community. Go to new project and type SQL and hit return. It will say something like "SQL Server Database Project". Guess what? That's SSDT. In older versions, it was a separate install. It is now part of the core Visual Studio. And you upgrade it, if there are any, the same way you do anything else.
Already installed Visual Studio? No problem. Reopen the installer and install the data tools. This can be part of the payloads they have (I forget which one, but it has to do with data) or you can click on the tab that allows you to install individual components and search for the SQL tools. Once installed, they are there.
I don't belie you can install using the SSDT separate installer anymore, just like you know handle all of the .NET Core installs in Visual Studio, rather than separate. Kathleen Dollard outlined this in one of her posts last year (not SSDT, but .NET Core, etc.), so it has been a bit more than a year these things got folded into the installer. Core may still allow download and install? Not sure. But SSDT is the SQL project in 2019.
I guess that you can use SSDT anywhere where you can use Visual Studio. In other words, if you can use Visual Studio - you can use SSDT as well. Now the question - can you use Visual Studio? Here is the link to pdf document describing their Licensing policy.
Here is the snapshot from there:
Visual Studio Community 2019 is a free,
full-featured IDE for any developer building non-enterprise apps
across any platform or device. It includes all the capabilities needed
to create compelling non-enterprise applications, including powerful
productivity features, mobile development tools for Windows, iOS and
Android, and access to thousands of extensions.
Who can use the Software
Rights to use Visual Studio Community depend on the customer
segment and usage scenarios as explained below.
Individual developers
Any individual developer can use Visual Studio Community to create their
own free or paid apps. In addition, any number of users may use the
software to develop and test device drivers for the Windows operating
system.
Organizations
• An unlimited number of users within an
organization can use Visual Studio Community for the following
scenarios: in a classroom learning environment, for academic research,
or for contributing to open source projects.
• Any number of users may use the software to develop and test device drivers for the Windows operating system.
•For all other usage scenarios: In non-enterprise
organizations up to 5 users can use Visual Studio Community. In
enterprise organizations (meaning those with >250 PCs or > $1M in
annual revenue) no use is permitted for employees as well as
contractors beyond the open source, academic research and classroom
learning environment scenarios described above
VS Code - is the text/development editor that have nothing for SSDT, you can work with SSDT projects like with files and folders. You won't be able to build/validate/deploy the project.
ADS - the text/development editor that was created on the base of VS Code to work with SQL Server databases. You can do some basic stuff for SSDT projects (build, deploy, compare, add/remove objects), but is not so powerful as Studio SSDT version yet.
Technically you need only MSBuild and SQLPackage to build and deploy dacpacs, so if these tools can be used for free in Enterprise, then you can technically do everything without the Studio, just with ADS or in hard-core way - with any editor if your knowledge is deep enough to generate proper sqlproj (xml) file.
Is it possible to upgrade SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Evaluation to Developer Version Or Express?
I we have some old Account software that uses SQL and the Tech that Migrated the Software used the Enterprise Evaluation Copy (Now Expired) and not the Express (Even though it would have been OK for this application).
We only need to use the software until the end on Jan 2018 so i wanted the most cost effective way of getting it back online.
I have tried an Edition upgrade to Express but it does not work the Upgrade wizard works but the SQL Server service with not start. Getting an Error 17051 which seems to lead to Trial Expired.
I can get hold of a Developer licence at a responsible price but wanted to Know if that would work prior to Purchase.
If anybody has had a similar problem would appreciate any help!
I am trying to open a solution file in Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate that includes an Integration Services project (.dtproj). Unfortunately, the migration failed for reasons that are slightly baffling to me.
The migration report contains the following error:
RecommenderJobs.dtproj: The application which this project type is based on was not found. Please try this link for further information: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?prd=12395&pver=11&sbp=ProjectTypeDeprecated&plcid=0x409&clcid=0x409&ar=MSDN&sar=ProjectCompatibility&o1=159641D6-6404-4A2A-AE62-294DE0FE8301
Unfortunately, the link appears to be dead, so that's no help.
I also received the following error message when I tried to open this in Visual Studio 2012:
I've tried opening this solution in both Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate and Visual Studio 2013 Premium (which is why I tagged both). Both are on Update 5. I already tried updating all of my extensions and updates, even ones that seem like they wouldn't be directly relevant to the problem (like Visual Studio's Office tools).
I found a similar question on Microsoft's forum. The suggestion there was to upgrade my version of SSIS to the latest version. I tried to install SSDT for VS2013 as suggested, but the install failed:
When I checked the logs, it had the following error:
Error 0x80070666: Cannot install a product when a newer version is installed.
I do, in fact, have a different version installed, but it's not actually newer as far as I can tell (in fact, it launches in the Visual Studio 2010 shell), so I'm a little confused by this. The version information is below:
Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services Designer
Version 11.0.5058.0
Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Designers
Version 11.0.5058.0
I do also have tools related to SQL Server 2012 installed.
Based on what I've read in other posts, I'd expect to see the SQL Server Data Tools in "Add/Remove Programs," but it's not. Does anyone know why that might be?
I've also seen related questions for other types of projects, such as for a PowerShell project. (Obviously, my question has nothing to do with Powershell, but the OP there was receiving the same exact error message for a different project type). Unfortunately, the suggestions on that post didn't seem all that helpful - for example, the accepted answer there involved completely uninstalling and reinstalling Visual Studio, which would be a major pain to say the least. I'm also not all that confident that that would work for me since this problem occurs in two separate versions of Visual Studio.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what else I could try?
You likely need to install both Integration services and Business Intelligence for Visual Studio (BIDS). You can do it launching SQL Server Setup and adding features to your current SQL Server Instance.
Have a look at this one: https://guruprasadv.wordpress.com/2009/06/17/opening-ssis-package-in-visual-studio/
BIDS is the IDE (integrated into Visual Studio) that allows you to drag and drop the components and create the SSIS packages. From SQL Server 2014 on wards you won't see BIDS anymore packaged in the SQL Server Setup, so you will have to install it independently. If you need it for VS 2013 here you have the link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42313
I had installed UiPath trial version previously, and uninstalled it when the license expired. As I use this machine for testing, I wanted to install UiPath community edition. I downloaded it and installed. When I fire it up, it still says the license status is: Server license expired. How do I get community edition running.
The link to renew the community edition for UiPath Studio, which should also work for activating after the trial as expired, is: Community Edition Renewal - UiPath Studio
UiPath are quite sneaky in the fact that they don't tell you that you have to go to their renewal site in order to renew the community license
About the problem
UiPath do not allow users to switch from an Enterprise license to a Community Edition (CE) license, even after the trial has expired, without first contacting support. After you activate a device with an Enterprise license you are not permitted to use CE on the same device. It's not an error and it is actually the expected behaviour. When you activate Enterprise edition your device key is registered in the UiPath database, which prevents you from registering a CE license.
If you are experiencing this problem, it is likely that you have received the following output:
Activation failed with error: 0
Error description: Cannot use Community Edition on this machine after activating a trial or Enterprise license code. Please enter a valid license key.
License status: Device ID already activated
Official solution
UiPath state that only in special situations may the trial license be extended or the Device ID released from their licensing. They recommend you contact their support team to enquire about disabling the Enterprise license and you can do this here.
A more useful workaround!!!
However, there is another way that does not require you to contact support. This workaround involves using Orchestrator as the licensing server. Here is what you can do to begin using CE:
Install UiPath Community Edition
Connect Studio (the Robot in user-mode that comes with Studio) to Orchestrator Community Edition: https://platform.uipath.com/ as Development Robot
Studio will get its license through Orchestrator (since 2018.4 version)
Here are some additional resources that may be of use:
Community Edition license agreement
UiPath Trial Agreement
use 2021.4.4 version
Based on the connection type (machine key / service URL) you can connect both community / enterprise edition.
No need to get two different installation one for community another for enterprise.
This problem has been fixed with 2021.4.4
UiPath Assistance will help you to connect through your personal Orchestrator for community or organizational orchestrator for enterprise.
We have the full version of SQL 2008 Server (first release) installed and licensed from download (a couple years ago). Now we are getting into Reporting Services; however, it seems only the Express version of Reporting Services is installed.
In the control panel under Services, I only see "SQL Reporting Services (SQLEXPRESS)" listed. [Express is ALSO on the server]
I do not think the Reporting Services option was selected when we initially installed. I would like to go back and Change the installation, however I cannot find the SQL 2008 R1 installation disk or download.
Any advice? Thanks.
If you can't find the original SQL Server 2008 installation media and don't have any subscriptions with Microsoft that entitle you to digital downloads of your purchased software, then I think you can try downloading the Enterprise Evaluation copy from here and using your existing license key for Standard in the installation process. After that, you should be able to add the Reporting Services features. Definitely backup your server before trying this, of course.
Failing that, you can install the trial version from scratch and use your license to upgrade it to the non-time-limited version (the upgrade paths allow for this).
Microsoft does not licence Release Candidate (RC) software for production environments or long-term use. Instead, these are basically their version of beta software. In a production environment, you must use RTM software. If you check your license agreement from your initial download, you should see that you should be using the RC1 version of SQL Server 2008 only for testing.
As for how to install Reporting Services on an RTM version, unfortunately you are going to need the media. Since you believe you have a valid license, contact Microsoft and request a copy of the media. Once you have it, just run the setup.exe and it will allow you to modify your SQL installation to include SSRS.
