Hi all,
We having 2 SQL Servers 2012 Enterprise in Evaluation. Now that we have downloaded our licensed copy of SQL Server I have downloaded the packaged from our MS Volume License Portal. I have downloaded SQL Enterprise Edition 2012 with core licenses, since this is how we are licensed. The current two servers are in Always-On mode, which is supported by Enterprise Edition.
However when I want to do the Edition Upgrade with this installation package I receive the following warning;
The AlwaysOn Availability Groups feature is enabled on this instance of SQL Server and it is not supported in the edition being changed to. Before proceeding, disable AlwaysOn Availability Groups on the server instance. For more information, see SQL Server Books Online.
I am wondering why this warning is popping up and is it really upgrading to the correct Edition? The installation package I downloaded has the following filename, which to me indicates that it is the correct ISO.
SW_DVD9_SQL_Svr_Ent_Core_2012_English_MLF_X17-99682
Anybody experience with this, or knows how to get around it?
