I have a Microsoft VPC image (MDAX 2012) with a SQL server 2012 R2 Enterprise edition istalled. It was delivered with an evaluation license. This has expired and I have downloaded an image with SQL Server 2012 R2 Enterprise edition. I have started it and used Maintenance Edition upgrade, selected license key, selected instance and upgraded. I am still not able to start the SQL service as the license period has expired and I cant start the SSMS.
When I rerun the upgrade I can see that the SQL server instance (MSSQL server) has changed to Enterprise Edition while Instance Tabular and Powerpivot still are evaluation Shared components have no edition.
I have tried to upgrade all instances without any luck.
Can you assist me in what I am doing wrong
