I have run all the steps as listed and the edition upgrade rules page tells me I can't "upgrade" my system. I have passed the evaluation stage. I have a license for standard. I enter that license and it tells me it can't do the upgrade but it is available for downgrade. I have read an awful lot of stuff about trying to get rid of R2.

I have VM running WindowXP and on it, SQL 2008 Enterprise Edition( product version is 10.0.16.xx) and SSRS is running. I installed as native mode. I want to know that can I upgrade to Window 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition from my current version. Do I need to buy license again or just update SP then it works?Please help me as I need to know it in short time and I can't find in Microsoft site. All mention is upgrade to 2012. Thanks Dude!!

Thanks!

Do you know how to find out what happens after entering a PID? Will we experience downtime? For how long?

Do you know where to buy such a PID. We have 8 days left of our evaluation and really need to sort this out now. Thx. Reply to msntommy at live dot se
