  Hi,

  I am having a problem upgrading, and i was hoping someone could help me out.

  I have a server with multiple SQL Server 2008 R2 instances - all are developer edition because it is a test server. I am trying to upgrade the default instance to 2012(enterprise edition - its not giving me developer as an option), but when doing so i get the following error:

  The specified edition upgrade is not supported. For information about supported upgrade paths, see the SQL Server 2012 version and edition upgrade in Books Online.
