Hi,
We have bought 5 licenses of SQL server developer 2012.
This licenses provided us an option to use SQL server 2008 R2. And we have been using 2008 R2 till now.
But now we want to upgrade to SQL server developer 2012 edition
I want to know the process for up-gradation. When I looked at the licensing portal, it says "This product does not require a product key"
My questions are:
1) Should I download the 2012 version from licensing center and pass the downloaded copy to respective team members?
2) Can the team member download the SQL server 2012 developer edition from Microsoft site and install it on their machines?
3) Do we need to first un-install 2008 R2?
4) How the licensing can be managed in cases of products which say "This product does not require a product key.", i.e. how can I make sure that no more than 5 installations are done by the team
Thanks
