Hi,
I am currently trying to upgrade my SQL 2014 evaluation version to the full version.
I have purchased a Volume License for SQL Server 2014 Server/CAL and have extracted the product key from the ISO File.
I have verified this product key with the product activation department and it is confirmed that it is a valid product key "ProdKey3 SQL Svr Standard Edtn 2014 00204 PA/BP VL:GVLK Pre Pidded"
However, when i input the product key in to the server, it is showing me the error message:
The SQL product key is not valid, enter key from certificate of authenticity or SQL server packaging
Checked on the version of the evaluation and this is the edition - Microsoft SQL Server 2014.0120.2000.08
The site that I am activating the server on does not have any internet connection, does this affect the activation?
Would there be an alternate phone activation method for converting to Trial to Full?
Kindly Assist. Thank you.
