Can we upgrade enterprise evaluation edition to Enterprise edition?

  • Hello,

    We have a sql server 2005 enterprise evaluation edition. Now we would like to upgrade to enterprise edition.

    can we do this upgrade by using the below

    To upgrade a SQL Server instance to SQL Server 2005

    Insert the SQL Server 2005 installation media into the disk drive.

    Run the following command from the command prompt:

    start /wait setup.exe /qn INSTANCENAME=

    SAPWD=

    SQLBROWSERACCOUNT=

  • You can upgrade an instance of SQL Server 2005 Evaluation Edition to any other edition of SQL Server 2005 without uninstalling Evalation Edition.

  • thank You Manu...

    is the enterprise evaluation edition and evaluation edition are same or there will different evaluation edition for each type like developer evaluation,standard evaluation like that?

    because Iam seeing my edition as Enterprise evaluation. can we do this upgrade through setup program or only through commandline?

  • There is only one evaluation edition thts the one installed by you. Regarding second question I don't have any idea but I think you can directly go using setup. Anybody else having experience on this please reply?
