Installing SQL Server 2012/2014 components on different servers

What are the licensing requirements under the following scenario:
Server A, virtual machine/server, 4 virtual cores, only SQL Server Database Services installed (and associated client tools)
Server B, virtual machine/server, 4 virtual cores, only SQL Server Analysis Services installed
Does this scenario require FOUR two-core pack licenses (so a total of 8 core licenses) or TWO two-core pack licenses?
Thanks.

How to install sql server 2012 using the license of sql 2014

Hello,
We want to install sql server 2012 on a server because of an application that can not work with sql server 2014.
We have a license for sql server 2014. The license is not visible for sql 2014 in our licenses because it is now included in the installation package. We also can not get a license key for SQL 2012 server now.
How can we get a valid sql server 2012 license key?
Thanks,
Gr. Peter.

Sorry about the error in the path, but you find the files that's the main thing.

I've recall that I've tried to help people with this error before, but I'm sure they were able to sort it out.
Anyway, this blog post,
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqljourney/archive/2012/10/09/sql-2008-service-fails-to-come-online-with-a-valid-certificate-could-not-be-found-and-it-is-not-possible-to-create-a-self-signed-certificate.aspx
suggests the issue is a corrupted user profile, and you should try to use a different service account.
This blog also seems to have a simple solution, but I cannot vouch for that it will work:

Unable to install SQL Server 2012 Developer

I have a problem with installing SQL Server 2012 (no matter which edition I choose). Installation usually runs well, but near the end shows up an error:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 Setup
The following error has occurred:
Wait on the Database Engine recovery handle failed. Check the SQL Server error log for potential causes.
For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=20476&ProdName=Microsoft%20SQL%20Server&EvtSrc=setup.rll&EvtID=50000&ProdVer=11.0.3128.0&EvtType=0xD15B4EB2%25400x4BDAF9BA%25401306%254026
BUTTONS:
OK
The help link points to not-existing article on MSDN page. After I click OK button, the installation reaches it's end and shows up another, which tells, that Database Engine Services, Reporting Services - Native, Data Quality Services, Full-Text and Semantic
Extractions for Search and SQL Server Replication failed to install.
After that I am able to start, for example SQL Management Studio, but cannot connect to database. Also services of SQL Server (Server, Server Agent, Full-text Filter, Reporting Services) are stopped and I am not able to start them manually (any try throws an
error: "The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion. Consult the event log or other applicable error logs for details").
I tried complete reinstalling of SQL Server, cleaning registry entries, different editions of that software - none method helped. Also, I tried the .iso images of installation media on other computers - it worked well and installed without any errors. My OS
is Windows 8.1 x64.

Hello,
Please uninstall SQL server completely from add remove program.Make sure you uninstall it completely
Now right click on Setup.exe file which is there in SQL Server installable and select run as administrator to start installation.
On page where you are asked to provide startup account for SQL Server service select NT Authority\System or Local System account.
This issue is basically after installation SQL Server is not able to bring online database services using account which you selected .Local system account will allow it to come online
After installation change startup account to domain account with least privilege
Hope this helps

I am trying to create a new dev environment and I'm using VMware Player running Windows Server 2008R2 SP1. I am able to run through the setup checks but when I hit "Next" I receive the error above. Also, I am able to install this on my personal
computer - just not in my VM. Any way to solve this?
Thanks!
Edit: Just to clarify some things.
1) I am trying to install SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition.
2) I downloaded the .ISO file using my MSDN License and when I downloaded the file the text boxt next to it said that a product key was not required.
3) I went inside the setup directory and found the DefaultSetup.ini and there was a product key inside that has been confirmed by a rep to be a valid product key.

Hello,
Try using WinRAR to unzip the ISO file to a local drive and install from there. Please do not use WinZIP.
Hope this helps.

Alberto Morillo

Earlier i used a different product to unzip the iso file.
Once i tried unzipping it using WINRAR, it worked. And installation went fine. Thanks Alberto

SQL Server 2012/2014 DBA

Hi, I have been working as system engineer for almost seven years. My primary focus is on Windows Server 2008 R2/2012 R2 technologies, Exchange Server 2010/2013, PowerShell (v2, v3 and v4), SCCM/SCOM 2012 R2, MDT 2012 U1/2013, IIS 8/8.5 and list goes on
with no MS technologies like Symantec (AV, backup products) and vSphere 5/5.5 since I am big fan of most of these technologies (honestly I am not thrilled working with Exchange Server - too much things under the hood just to send an email :-)). I
have recently decided to also dig deep into SQL Server 2012/2014 although in my company we do not have anyone whose job is primarily working as SQL DBA. Knowing that SQL Server 2012/2014 has SSRS, SSIS and SSAS beside the main
one Database Engine, I would like to find out whether SQL DBA has to know very well these three SQL components or he/she should be focused on administering SQL Server databases and querying SQL server (in case of SQL Server
2012 areas covered by exams 70-462 and 70-461). Having deep knowledge of all these SQL Server services seems like mission impossible and honestly I do not think anyone could master SQL Server "as whole" - unless, maybe, that person is working only
and I repeat only with SQL Server. It looks like SC 2012 R2 suite - mastering all products in this suite is impossible. So what should I do?

SSIS was mentioned as very powerful tool in DBA arsenal for automating many administrative tasks without too much difficulties. Since I have no experience in working with SSIS how tough is it for learning and mastering and what books/videos do you
recommend?
SSIS is a must for a DBA. In case you have questions, there is an excellent SSIS forum:

Help with installing sql server 2012 upgrade advisor

Hello there,
I have two questions here:
1. My sql server 2005 is on Window Server 2003/SP2. Does this mean I cannot install sql server 2012 upgrade advisor on it? This page (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144256.aspx)
cites that the supported OS are "Windows Vista SP1, or SP2, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2."
2. I tried to install the upgrade advisor on my local machine (windows 7, 64-bit). Even after I installed "Microsoft SQL Server Transact-SQL ScriptDom ", I still got the error message "Setup is missing prerequisites: - Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Transact-SQL
ScriptDom, which is not installed by Updgrade Advisor Setup........" Why is that?
Thank you for your help in advance!

Hello,
Have you installed .NET Framework 4.0 also?
Make sure you installed Transact-SQL ScriptDom from the following link:

Problem Installing SQL Server 2012 Express

Hello
I'm in the process of installing SQL Server 2012 and the install is continually failing. It reports to possibly be a problem with the package; I've tried downloading three times now and setup has failed each time. There is a link below to the install log
file which I believe will likely be more help than my attempting to describe the symptoms but please let me know if there is any additional information which would help in finding the problem.
https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=9ACB131B26E0E088!514&authkey=!ABuTadbr92UTFpo
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
“Error Code: 29559
The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with the package. The error code is 29559”
Let’s try to work around the issue on a different way. Please try to download the following Evaluation Copy of SQL Server 2012, run setup, and on the “Product Key” page select
Express Edition (on the “Specify a free edition” combo box).
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29066
Do you have another instance of SQL Server installed?
Hope this helps.

What will I do with the SQL Server (2012/2014) (Standard/Enterprise) Licenses?

What will I do with the SQL Server (2012/2014) (Standard/Enterprise) Licenses?
Are these the same as software product keys, or just some pieces of paper the company needs to have on hand?
In which case, when we install SQL Server 2014, (and when looked for videos) - there is only 1 product key value to be put in, is there some other screen in the setup to input the License bought ( in our case will be Core licenses).
So in addition to the Core Licenses do will a Product key be needed? Would product key from an msdn work, as it is the licenses that we will buy to indicate that we bought to run the software on server X?
Thanks for any indications.

I will answer your question point wise
1. Keeping license key is good idea it helps you during audit and you have proof that you are using a valid Microsoft License. Plus in scenario of disaster where whole box gets damanged you might need to install SQL Server again in that case during
reinstallation on setup page where you need to enter key you might need need it. If you are missing your paper then you are in trouble.
2. Only on product key page license key is required and it is not required anywhere else during installation. Unless you enter valid product key installation will not proceed further.
3 License makes you a valid owner of Microsoft product with restrictions on how much hardware resource you can use how much max connections you can make etc. Key lets you install it on Windows machine making sure that you are using valid Microsoft product.
This was just a general idea please speak to your licensing specialist for more details. This is technical forum and we generally ask user to speak to licensing expert for such queries.

Sybase ASE 11.9 to SQL Server 2012/2014 Data Migration

I am given a task of migrating the Sybase ASE 11.9 server databases to SQL Server 2012/2014.
We have Sybase server installed on Windows server 2000.
We are going to setup a SQL Server 2012 on another server machine.
We are planning the migration using SSMA Version 6.0.
My questions are as below:
1. Do i need to install the SSMA Sybase Client tool on both the servers?
2. The database is quite huge, so they want us to perform the migration on a Copy of Sybase database. Is it possible?
Also please let me know what are the requirements for all this process so we can take care of it before doing actual migration.

Hi Lydia ,
Thanks a lot for making it clear to me.
So as per my understanding i will install both the client
application of SSMA for Sybase and the
Server extension pack on Windows Server 2012.
So, if i can access the Sybase Server from Windows Server 2012(Sql Server Destination) then no
need to install the client application of SSMA for Sybase on Windows Server 2000(Sybase
Source).
Thanks

Error while installing SQL Server 2012 X64 SP2,

Error while installing SQL Server 2012 X64 SP2,
When I installed the SQL Server 2012 X64 SP1, I got the attached error.
What might be the issue here?
Thank you
Best
Jamal

Hello,
Are you trying to install SQL Server on a compressed or encrypted drive? SQL Server won’t install on a drive/folder with these attributes.
Are you trying to install SQL Server on a ReFS file system? It is not supported on SQL Server 2012.
Disable any security/antivirus software and download the media again. Mount the media (.ISO file) and try to install again.
Hope this helps.

Unable to install sql server 2012

I am trying to install sql server 2012. I need it to run a trial version of Xactimate. I get the following error during the installation process on the SQL Server Installation Center box : The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that
is unavailable. Click ok to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'sqlbrowser.msi' in the box below.
Use source: c:\9bc690235b2703df7a6704fa\1033_ENU_LP\x86\setup\

Hello,
Based on the following Xactware support document from two years ago (2012), Xactimate supports SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2008.
The document does not say Xactimate supports SQL Server 2012.
http://www.xactware.com/pdf/27/xactimate-27.5-network-install-guide.pdf
As mentioned on page #3 of the installation guide (above link), “If you do not already have SQL Server Express installed on your server,
you can use the version of SQL Server Express that is available on your Xactimate Version 27 DVD. Xactware recommends you use the Xactimate Setup—Network batch file. When you use this batch file, the Xactware instance is automatically created, the network
protocols are enabled, and the correct user name and password is set.”
Hope this helps.
