I have SQL Server Server licenses (not the core version) available from way back and software assurance. I need to do an install of SQL 2014 using one of those licenses. The only way I see to run with that license (which has CPU limitations) is this:
- install SQL 2008r2 Enterprise
- Upgrade to SQL2012, specifying the server license during setup
- Upgrade to 2014.
Is there a way to do this directly without all the steps?
Thanks
