After a trial of SQL 2017, we purchased the product with product key.
Only expecting a product key (what we asked for), we received a link to the MS Volume Licensing website.
I understand from the website the product key is embedded in the software download.
Not good in that we already have SQL 2017 up and running with many users (that become quite upset when the coffee pot is empty or their database are down).
Is there a way to extract the key and just plug into the running SQL app? I mean SQL has a page to enter in your key.
It is not difficult to re-install 2017 and reattach the databases. But just entering a product key is much simpler.
Thanks!
