I currently have a website in DNN Community Edition (version 7.3.2). I need to upgrade the website to enterprise edition. I have tried searching (read Googling) for the steps and protocols to be followed to achieve this. However, all search results, blogs and online documentation I have encountered so far seem to be pertaining to upgrading Community Edition (CE) to Professional Edition (PE) or Professional Edition (PE) to Enterprise Edition (EE). Based on my understanding, I get the feeling that I have to upgrade to Professional Edition in order to be able to upgrade to Enterprise Edition (EE).
So can anybody tell me is it possible to upgrade Community edition to Enterprise Edition straightaway OR do I have to go through the installation of Professional edition?
You will simply perform the same steps as you would to upgrade to PE. No need to upgrade to PE then EE.
Backup everything (files/database)
Download the EE Upgrade package
Extract the EE Upgrade package (make sure to unblock the ZIP if you're using Windows Compression to extract)
Copy the files from the UPGRADE extraction over your existing CE location.
Side note: Probably too late, but do you really need Enterprise Edition?

I attempted to change a SQL Server 2019 Enterprise edition to developer edition and it says it not allowed.
enter image description here
I think you are asking if there's a way to do the edition change despite the message? In this case, it's not supported. I likely would build a new server and do a migration if this had to be done.
The "one-way" migration path is not uncommon in version and edition upgrades. Here is a link to the supported upgrade matrix.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/database-engine/install-windows/supported-version-and-edition-upgrades-2019?view=sql-server-ver16
Can a developer edition be in production or an enterprise edition in development by accident? Sure. If you have paid for a Enterprise license for a DEV edition production server, then you are likely good. If you have MSDN, then you are okay for non-production use of non-DEV editions.
I never base our licensing on just the edition. I seem to remember reading in a licensing whitepaper from Microsoft that the edition was not important, but the use was. For example, a test setup using STD and ENT editions via MSDN was fine. If any of it was production, then MSDN is not fine.
All the gory details:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/Licensing/product-licensing/sql-server
https://download.microsoft.com/download/e/2/9/e29a9331-965d-4faa-bd2e-7c1db7cd8348/SQL_Server_2019_Licensing_guide.pdf
https://www.visualstudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Visual-Studio-2017-Licensing-Whitepaper-March-2017.pdf
In the the last link "What Software is Included and Downgrade Rights" clearly indicates you can use any STD and ENT versions for non-production using MSDN. This is why you can't use edition alone to determine licensing. However, all those accessing the MSDN licensed servers must have MSDN with the exception of UAT. A client testing the app would not need a MSDN license. If anybody does not have MSDN, then a production license is required. This is a where a DEV edition can be costly with an ENT license when a STD edition would have been used otherwise.
I installed Neo4j Enterprise edition first and now I'm working with it without any problem . Then I installed community edition and I followed the exact same rules that I followed for installing Enterprise edition . I mean I opened cmd, went to the directory and wrote neo4j.bat install service and then Net start neo4j.
The problem is that I can not connect to the community edition !!
I set different ports for community edition but again I can not connect .
Here :
and another problem is that when I go to the directory through cmd and write net stop neo4j , the enterprise edition get stopped !!! I go to the community edition and the write net stop neo4j but the enterprise edition goes down
thank you
Does anyone know if there is some type of bug in the installation of SQL Server 2008 R2? It seems if you have Express edition installed, then upgrade to anything (developer, enterprise, etc.) the SQL Server tools that don't come with Express will never show up because the Express edition is installed on your computer. *Even though you just paid for Enterprise edition
This has happened to me on 3 different computers. I have to copy the binn folder from a computer that actually works. Just today I decided to try to uninstall the Express edition before upgrading - instead of letting Microsoft handling the upgrade and it worked. I'm thinking maybe this is a bug...
When you upgrade from Express version, need to install Management Tools - Complete -
I know this question is old and answered, but I was having the same problem. I wanted to upgrade from Express to Developer and none of these answers helped me.
What I´ve done to be able to add features is:
Open the SQL Server Installation Center.
Click on Maintenance > Edition Upgrade and follow the steps.
Click on Installation > New installation or add features to an existing installation and follow the steps.
There you can add all the new features from your new version of SQL Server. Hope that helped..
(Instructions for 2008 R2)
If you installed Express before Enterprise/Developer you most likely have Management Tools - Basic installed. I used the following steps to get SQL Server Profiler Installed, which is bundled with the Management Tools - Complete tool set.
Step 1: Remove Management Tools - Basic
Control "Panel -> Programs -> Programs and Features"
Uninstall/Change "Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2"
Select "Remove"
In the "Select Instance" dialog, "Instances to remove features from:" drop-down choose Remove shared features only
Check "Management Tools - Basic"
Follow the rest of the uninstall dialogs
Step 2: Install Management Tools - Complete
Run setup from the Enterprise\Developer Edition installation media
Choose "New installation or add features to an existing installation"
A few screens later choose "SQL Server Feature Installation"
Check "Shared Features -> Management Tools-Complete"
Follow the rest of the dialogs to install.
You should now have SQL Server Profiler installed.
You need to select full management tools in the features during install I believe. Just go run the installer again, select modify existing instance, and add the checkboxes for management tools
SQL Server installation, when doing an upgrade, is only going to upgrade those components currently installed. If you want the additional tools available with a higher edition you will have to rerun the installation and select to add addtional components. Then as Darren suggested select the full management tools option.
I have installed SQL Server 2008 Standard edition and I want to upgrade it to Developer version. I installed the Standard version for my MSDN subscription. I have tried to upgrade from the Standard ISO and Developer ISO and it does not give you an option to upgrade. It ask for a product key but MSDN states "No key is required for this product" for Developer version. This should be real simple. How do I upgrade from Standard to Developer using the ISO's on my MSDN subscription?
Just install the developer version next to the standard version. You can uninstall the standard edition if you want. The database .mdf files can be used by either. Detach them from the standard edition and attach them to the developer edition.
You should just be able to do it using the "Edition Upgrade" option from the Maintenance portion of the Installation Center.
If that doesn't work, you might also try constructing a command line to the setup program, using /ACTION=editionupgrade, among other parameters.
We used some Database Projects in VS2005 Professional. Am I correct in saying Microsoft removed support in 2008 Professional edition and moved it to Team System instead?
I just checked my install of Visual Studio 2008 Pro and 'Database' is available as a new project option (under 'Other Languages').
Do you mean Database Edition projects (DBPro)? If so, VS Professional doesn't support this for free. You need to be using VS Team Suite or VS Developer Edition.
