Upgrading MS SQL Server 7 SP4 Standard to 2005 Enterprise (Eval Edition)

Hello, you all,

I did all the stuff necessary for the upgrading (the Upgrade Advisor didn't say anything special), but the Setup says the following:

"
Name: Microsoft SQL Server 7.00.1063
Cause: The update is blocked. You can obtain more informations in the online help "Versions- and editionsupdates".

Editions problem:
The update is blocked because of rules for the editions update.
"

Is it possible that an upgrade is not possible with the evaluation edition Or can there be another cause

Thanks in advance

Oliver

I believe that's correct: we don't allow upgrades to the eval edition - except when it's from an eval edition.

My friend,

You should have checked this link before http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143393(d=printer).aspx

I think you can still try side-by-side migration.
