I'd like to install sql server 2014 standard 'Evaluation' version on one of my many sql server servers currently running sql server 2008 standard edition. IE Upgrade sql server 2008 standard TO sql server 2014 Evaluation. then, if after some testing all seems to work OK, we'll be purchasing SQL 2014 licenses for all our sql servers.
However I get the following error during the upgrade:
Specified edition upgrade is not supported.
Question is: Should I be able to upgrade sql 2008 standard TO sql 2014 Evaluation edtion ???
Thank you.
Error in the log file:
