I am new to this environment and I have an issue with SQL studio management – it says
“Evaluation period has expired. For information on how to upgrade your evaluation software please go tohttp://www.microsoft.com/sql/howtobuy”.
The questions I have are :
1. How do I know what version of SQL I am running ?(since I cant go through studio management)
2. I can see sql server 2008 r2 on the program files- does that mean SQL management studio is 2008 R2?
3. How do I upgrade to a proper version ? – Is it through “installation center “ on program files ?
4. Will the upgrade stop any SQL services?
Many thanks guys – Im fairly new to sql troubleshooting – I have only done direct installations in the past.
