I have server with MS SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition, but I would like to use new functionality from MSSQL 2016. If I had express edition that issue would be easy - I could free upgrade my SQL Server to 2016 Express Edition.
Is it possible to free update the SQL Server to use the new functionality?
If not, I will be forced to install a version EXPRESS 2016 create database and some procedures, link new SQL Server into SQL Server 2012...
No, there is no free upgrade path from SQL Server 2012 Enterprise edition to SQL Server 2016
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.

I currently have SQL Server 2008 R2 Express installed.
I like to upgrade to SQL Server 2012 Express.
I am using a 64 bit system (Windows 7 Home Premium).
Is there a wizard that can do the upgrade? I checked a few places on the web but was not sure which option to choose.
Thank you in advance.
As documented, upgrade is supported from SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 Express to SQL Server 2012 Express. Install the 2008 R2 SP1, and run installation of 2012 Express normally. It should pick up and offer an upgrade. Your operating system is also supported.
The SQL Server Installation Center (when you download the Express 2012 64) it give you an option to upgrade the SQL server 2005, 2008, 2008 R2 too) , it helps to fix issues when you backup and restore between servers, I also used "Windows Update" to update the existing MS-SQL-Express
does SQL Server Management Studio integrated in to SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition?
if i am installing SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition than i required to install SSME separately?
Please help Thanks...
Management Studio comes with the SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition suite. It's part of management tools. You have the option NOT to install it, but that is not recommended.
