I had installed SQL Server 2008 and received a error now after about 7 months that the evaluation period has expired; without any previous notifications. I searched online and found that I needed to make a change in the registry and reinstall SQL Server 2008. I am trying to do upgrade install and getting the error:
Rule "SQL Server Analysis Services
Upgrade Edition Validation Check"
failed Sql server analysis services
evaluation edition can be upgraded
only to standard, enterprise or
developer edition.
My question is that if I decide to do a fresh new install, do I need to remove the older installed version and what happens to my databases in that case?
Any suggestions appreciated.
Yes, an uninstall will leave your data in tact. You'd have to attach the databases to the new server install.

I'm a beginner in this, I've been searching for long on internet. But as many solution in internet, I don't understand as much i wanted. And I have some question to for resolution. I see a place the recommend to ask some like this as Super User, but I recently just started using 'Stack Overflow' so I don't know How To Use Super User.
Start when I download a new setup of SQL Server 2016 and choose option to 'Upgrade-from-previous-version', from process I see, it just added 2 features.
From what I really want is to change entirely my SQL server from 2014 to 2016.
Two Server in services.msc
So i try to do option 'basic-installation' from installer and it work honestly but provide 2 server which server 2016 and 2014.
Maybe I can just uninstall the server 2014, and get work with 2016 instead. But Can I bring my database in 2014 too?, I mean it has compatibility-problem.
And it don't have SQL Server Management Studio so I download a newest version of it (v18.00)
Two server with different SQL Server version
My question is =
Can I keep my database in server 2014, my database in 2016 is empty (did I must attach it again)?
Did it just OK to have two Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio?
Why I don't get MSSMS when I install SQL Server 2016?
If I must do Question1, How To Upgrade my database to version 2016?
Is it bad for my laptop to having two Version of SQL Server, or I must delete one?
Backup and restore to 2016 (or keep it in 2014)
Yes, but not necessary, just use latest version, uninstall older
Management Studio can be downloaded separately
See (1)
No, both can be kept, but remember that both services will be running which may impact performance and resource usage. You can stop these services using SQL Server Configuration Manager
I performed what I thought was an upgrade from SQL Server Express 2012 to 2014 by running the 64-bit executable. Everything seemed to be working fine during installation as it recognized my existing server instance (2012) which I presumed would be upgraded to 2014.
However, when I try to restore a 2014 DB from my web host, I get the following error:
The database was backed up on a server running version 12.00.2000.
That version is incompatible with this server, which is running
version 11.00.5343. Either restore the database on a server that
supports the backup, or use a backup that is compatible with this
server.
I definitely have 2014 installed, but when I view my instance from inside SMS 2014 it looks to still be running on SQL version 11.xxx which I presume is 2012 (the name of the instance is the same as it was when I was running 2012).
Did I do something wrong during the installation? How do I upgrade my instance to 2014 so that I can restore my DB locally?
downloadsqlserverexpress.com helps to find the correct download of SQL Server Express from MS Download Center. You need the one that contains the SQL Server Engine, not just Management Studio.
sqlserverbuilds.blogspot.com.au has a full list of SQL Server versions and builds.
Using it we can see that you are running Management Studio 2014 (build 12.0.2000.0), but you are connecting to SQL Server 2012 engine (build 11.0.5343).
Maybe you now have two engines running (both 2012 and 2014). You can check the list of running processes and verify if two instances of sqlservr.exe are running.
It should be possible to upgrade the engine in place by installing 2014 on top of 2012. I don't know why it didn't happen in your case. You could have chosen to install only Management Studio even if you had a full installer.
One long, but sure way to clean up would be to uninstall everything related to SQL Server and install 2014 again. Make proper backups of databases at first, of course.
I am installing TFS 2012 Express edition and I fail at the wizard that runs "Readiness check". It fails at the Data tier section.. with error
TF400533: In order for this wizard to upgrade to the latest version of SQL Server Express, you will first need to install Service Pack 2 or newer, and then re-run this wizard. It is recommended that you run Microsoft Updates which will install the current service pack automatically (You may need to enable Microsoft Updates from the Windows control panel).
Question:
What service pack 2 is this talking about. If its SQL 2008 R2, then I installed it and I get the same error. If its TFS 2012 or SQL 2012 , there is no SP2.
I did install SQL server 2012 express edition separately and and then re run the TFS 2012 express edition install, it still fails at the same point.
The problem is the version of SQL Express that is packaged with TFS is not capable of upgrading the older version of SQL express you have. It must be pulled forward for the upgrade to work. So, we detect you're behind the minimum version it's capable of upgrading and show that message.
This article discussed a few options. If windows update works for you (optional updates) that is the easiest path.

If you run that SP2 installer directly (next, next, next), it can just install SP2 but not against the SQLExpress instance on your box (sigh). It's not obvious - if the above link doesn't get you going, let me know and I'll include more detailed steps.
How about SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2?
TFS 2012 Express will install SQL Server 2012 Express while TFS configuration is running, so my advice to you, you will need to uninstall any any instance of existing SQL server you have and re-run TFS configuration wizard, remember to backup any database you have before uninstall.
Uninstall an Existing Instance of SQL Server 2012
Uninstall an Existing Instance of SQL Server 2008 R2
I'm trying to install SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition on my Windows 7 Ultimate laptop.
When the installation runs, I am getting the following error :-
A component that you have specified in the ADD_LOCAL property is already installed. To upgrade the existing component, refer to the template.ini and set the UPGRADE property to the name of the component.
I had installed an Express version from the Web Platform installer, but I'm sure I removed that. Also installed were compact editions from a mobile development workshop I did last year. I removed those also.
Currently my Uninstall or change a program list in Control Panel has the following SQL Server related entries :-
Microsoft SQL Server 2005
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Backward Compatibility
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Books Online (English)
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Mobile [ENU] Developer Tools
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Upgrade Advisor (English)
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Setup Support Files
Microsoft SQL Server Native Client
Microsoft SQL Server Setup Support Files (English)
Microsoft SQL Server VSS Writer
Where do I go from here to get this product installed ?
In the end I followed this article.
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/sqlsetupandupgrade/thread/50164862-ef20-4758-9c7a-0d6ae8f1b3f9/
After rebooting and running the installation again, and choosing just the client components (the problem part of the install) it is now installing smoothly.
I'm going to rerun the installation in a few moments and install the SQL Engine, Reporting Services, Analysis Services, and the other options such as the sample databases.
Job done; it seems.
Folks,
Visual Studio installed SQL Server Express on my computer, which to date has satisfied my needs. I now need to do remote database support so need the full version of management studio. I tried to install the standard version but it is blocked, apparently because Express has newer versions of the files. Can I do this? Will they play well together?
Thanks
Doug
You cannot run SQL Server 2005 Express on the same machine as SQL Server Management Studio 2005. However, you can run SQL Server 2008 Express.
I uninstalled 2005 and installed 2008 on my machine to work around that problem.
See this blog post for more info.
You could probably also set up a slipstream for 2k5 install with the latest service packs and install it that way.
Your solution is pretty simple. Uninstall Express & install SQL Server 2005. Why would you need both running side by side when you have the full version besides there's less headache when you have only one instance of it.
