How to registered license information?

  • Hi,

    How to registered license information on server after installation SQL server 2008?

    SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('LicenseType'), SERVERPROPERTY('NumLicenses')

    Type of License :DISABLED

    Number of Licenses :Null (Not Defnied)

    Thanks

    ananda

  • The property "License Type" and "Num License" are followed till SQL Server 2000 release. Microsoft stopped registering value for this property from SQL Server 2005 onwards. From SQL Server 2005 onwards these information are followed on your license agreement.

    The value "Disabled" and "Null" are by design from SQL Server 2005.

    As per license agreement paper work mention Per Processor license type. so still license type disabled after installation. how to register or create license details on server which is installed SQL2K8R2 machine?

  • Hi,

    we have license copy of enterprise edition also product key comes automatically while during installation time.

    Does production server going will be down? If not create & mention license information at registry level after installation of product.

    Could anyone suggestion me. Thanks

  • Licensing is about paperwork, the SQL instances themselves don't know how they are licensed. As Satheesh said, the license type is supposed to be null, it is not registered within the product.
