    Hi,

    Is it possible to upgrade from SQL Server 2008 CTP Feb edition directly to SQL Server 2008 RTM?

    I have few deoms for CTP edition and now that has exipired so I need to know the way out.

    Personally, even if there is directly upgrade path (e.g. install on top of CTP6), I wouldn't risk it

    We upgraded from RC0 to RTM by either

    1. Uninstall RC0, re-install RTM on same box, then re-attach DB's

    2. Install RTM on new server, backup-RC0-and-restore-on-RTM on new server

    No problem either way thus far
