  • Not sure how to just enter the sql license without having to reinstall it?

    Anybody done that before?

  • thanks so I am pretty much stuck.

    I followed advise on the link, it took me to the same screen I was before.

    We got fresh media from MS. that has a 20 character key embedded in it.

    I copy and pasted that number in my current upgrade and it gave me an error.
