sql server retail
How can I upgrade the SQL server 2005 Enterprise x64 trial edition to retail version( I bought the S/W)?
The server with trial edition has SP2 installed. But the retail version CD is just plain raw SQL server 2005 - without SPs. When I try to upgrade the database server as Microsoft spells out, it gives an error 'Missing component error'. Can I go ahead and uninstall all the SPs and try to upgrade at that point? Any help would be great.
What I would do is make a backup of all your databases, uninstall SQL Server, then install the retail version. Once it is up and running, you can add the databases back in.
