I have a test server on a VM running SQL Server 2008 R2 express. I have a development server on my local machine also 2008 R2. I recently got access to a instance of the Full Standard Version SQL 2012. My company wants me to move my data there. When
I access the 2012 instance I get an error, something about my backend not being the right version. Ok fine, I have a MSDN subscription so I go out to get SQL Management Studio 2012 they have it but, I believe I will still need the 2008
R2 to connect with my test/development server. I am concerned because at one point I had 2010 on my machine and 2008 R2 on my VM and I believe there was a problem when I tried to connect a 2008 R2 database to SQL Server 2010 or visa versa. I had
to install 2008 R2 on both so I could debug/develop on my local machine and allow user testing on the VM. So two questions. Can I install both MSSMS 2012 and MSSMS 2008 R2 on my local computer? Do I need to? Thanks for you time and advise.
