Could I upgrade my 2008 r2 Standard license to Enterprise ?

Could I upgrade my 2008 r2 Standard license to Enterprise ?
is there anything related to 2012 licenses ??

Hi,
There are no possibility to upgrade your 2008 R2 Standard Edition to Enterprise Edition. It was possible only before the availability of the 2012 Version for customers with active Software assurance for Standard Edition in open value with the step UP license
from Standard to Enterprise.
Actually, the only way to have the 2008 R2 enterprise Edition is to purchase the Standard Edition of Windows Server 2012 R2 Version than you may downgrade to the Enterprise Edition 2008 R2.
Note: for Enterprise Edition 2008 R2 you have one physical + 4 VMs. if you downgrade your Standard Edition 2012 R2 to Enterprise 2008 R2, you receive only 2 VMs for your Enterprise Edition. If you wants to have 4 VMs, than you need two Windows Server 2012
R2 Standard Edition licenses.
I hope is helpful
thanks

Issue in Upgrading Windows 2008 R2 Standard server to Windows 2012 Standard Srever

Hi
We have a Windows Server 2008 R2 stadard running... (came with the server).
To use 64GB, we have just purchased a licence key (retail) and downloaded ISO (Evaluation version) to upgrade.
Then I got this error message saying that
"Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard cannot be upgraded to Windows Server 2012 Standard Evaluation (Server with a GUI). You can choose to install a new copy of Windows Server 2012 Standard Evaluation (Server with a GUI) instead, but this is different from
an upgrade, and does not keep your files, settings, and programs."
Well, fresh installation is not an option for me. no way..
I read somewhere that it is because I am trying to upgrade from licenced 2008 R2 standard to evaluation 2012 standard. Then I saw a screenshot where you supply a licence key after selecting an edition to choose..
I don't get that screen sinceit is the evaluation version.
Well, I am supposed to upgrade the system before the end of the new year... now I am in a panic.. - - ;;
Can anyone help me with this please???

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Agree with words of “Dave & Tim” and based on my research, we need to perform a clean installation of Windows Server 2012 Evaluation Versions instead upgrading.
However, if we have licensed Windows Server 2012, we can upgrade to Windows Server 2012 by referring to the Upgrading previous retail versions of Windows Server to Windows Server 2012 part of
Evaluation Versions and Upgrade Options for Windows Server 2012.
Hope it helps!
Regards.

Upgrade Windows 2008 R2 Standard to 2008 R2 Enterprise fails

Hi,
I am trying to perform an in place upgrade from Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard to Enterprise. I want to setup some things with failover clustering. The install goes all the way to the last step where it is transferring files and then it hangs. This server
is in my home and I don't have a plethora of servers to play with so I need to upgrade. This server is an HP ProLiant ML330 G6. My other server is a DL385G2 running 2008 R2 Enterprise. They are different because I was scouring eBay and pounced when a deal
came up. :-)
This server is a DC and it is running:
DHCP
DNS
Exchange 2010
MS Forefront Security
Print Server
DFS Namespace
DFSR (I have a second server that it replicates with)
All HP services (But I disable them for the upgrade)
I suspect that it is failing on a print driver but I am not sure. I disabled all non-MS services from boot. I also added the system environment variable with the iphlp dll. (can't recall it right at this moment)
The way I have been doing this is to power off the server, break the RAID 1 O/S mirror by removing 1 of the drives, power up and run the upgrade. If it fails, I power off, insert the drive I removed and pop out the "upgraded" drive. Boot up, pop
in the failed upgrade drive and let it rebuild.
Any thoughts? The last time it failed I let it back out the upgrade and I copied off a bunch of the setup log files before I restored the previous mirrored drive.
I am also contemplating upgrading this server to 2012 R2. Would using my RAID 1 method above work? I don't know if the upgrade will change something with the server's computer account therefore not allowing me to revert to 2008 R2.
Lastly, I know that I shouldn't have all of these services on one server, but this is in my home and not a work environment. It runs fairly flawlessly.

Hi,
In addition to Dave Patrick, what is the error message when you upgrade failed?
Meanwhile, please check this article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/server_core/archive/2009/10/14/upgrading-windows-server-2008-r2-without-media.aspx
It seems like the server can't be a DC at the time of upgrade. If you demote a DC using dcpromo, you can upgrade, then re-promote it.

Upgrading from Oracle 9i Standard edition to Enterprise.

I want to upgrade my database from oracle 9i(9.2.0.6) Standard edition to Enterprise edition.
Please suggest me as to what is the best suitable method
I was thinking of installing EE directly on Standard edition so that all the things remain intact is it possible?
Also if not then can backup and restore be used?
Thanks in advance

hi.
right now i have standard edition already installed as i said earlier. I want to upgrade from SE to EE because of using advance features like partitioning. DB size is 40 GB.
I know exp/imp would take a lot of time that's why I thought it is not a viable path.

Upgrade from Windows2008R2 SP1 standard to Windows2008R2 Enterprise

HI
Like the title, I want to upgrade server from Windows2008R2 SP1 standard to Windows2008R2(SP1) Enterprise.
I have tried to do that with Windows2008R2 SP1 disc. But cannot finish with the error below
windwos cannot install required files, make sure all files required for installation are availabe, and restart the
installation. Error code:0x800700B7
question1
when I insert the Windows2008R2 SP1 boot disc, there is a upgrade option, can I use that?
question2
I also did some research, DISM can be used to change edition. Is it the only way to do that?
PS, re-install is unavailabe.

For Windows Server 2008 R2 and above, the recommended way to upgrade edition is to use DISM.
You can follow this article on upgrading edition:

Remove Measurement Studio Enterprise trial computers with activated Standard licenses

When I install Measurement Studio 2013 on a development computer, activate my Standard Development serial number and license that PC over the Internet, and build some software in Visual Studio, the Enterprise Development trial is automatically selected in the build process. After 30 days, the license expires, and the software behaves as if it is unlicensed - that is, it crashes. A Clean and Rebuild must be run to select the Standard Development license and make the software work again. I believe that this default behavior is incorrect. This 30 day window is often shortly after delivering the machine to a customer, so it fails on their floor right after we leave! This is not good for our reputation or for NI's reputation.
One or more of the following options would be the preferred behavior:
(1) Do not automatically enable the "Enterprise Development" trial. This trial should be deactivated by default when a Standard or Professional license is activated, and a user should be able to open NI License Manager and Activate it as required.
(2) Show a warning on start-up whenever a trial license is used. This is what LabVIEW does: upon launch of LabVIEW the user would see something like "Evaluation License - 5 days remaining". Measurement Studio users do not see this upon launch of Visual Studio, upon building the project in Visual Studio, or upon starting the resulting software. It would be nice if you could provide a link that would instruct users on how to deactivate the Enterprise Development license in this warning.
(3) Use the lowest possible development system. If Enterprise-only features are used and a Standard license and Enterprise trial are available, then the trial is necessary (though a warning as in #2 above would be nice), but otherwise use the Standard or Professional license. This issue has caused us some embarrassment several times. Please fix it!
The workaround, according to Michael Keane from NI (in Service Request #7454045, if anyone from NI is reading this), is as follows:
I assume that in License Manager during those 30 days you would see a green box next to Standard edition and a half white / half yellow box next to Enterprise. The workaround for what you are describing would be to go into ProgramData (hidden folder, will have to type it into Windows Explorer) >> National Instruments >> License Manager >> Licenses and move the Enterprise .lc file outside the Licenses folder. It probably has "TmpEthernet" in the name. This way, License Manager would not be able to find an evaluation version license and I would expect the checkbox next to Enterprise to appear white after refresh. Then, the software would have to look toward the full license and no builds would be expiring.
This works, but is still leaves the possibility for the step to be forgotten and the software to fail shortly after delivery, which is obviously no good at all! Please fix this!

Thanks for the response Daniel,
The issue and behavior are a little different than your scenario. First, I don't add a reference to Analysis.Enterprise.dll. I only use DLLs which my standard license covers. However, if I had used Analysis.Enterprise.dll, there would be no build error. When I activate Standard edition, the Enterprise trial remains active, and is not cancelled or superceded by the Standard edition license.
The process is similar to what you've described, though. I think that the evaluation period is longer than 7 days - I see that described at http://www.ni.com/mstudio/download/, but the manual at http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/350836e.pdf says on page 7 "Any applications you build with the Measurement Studio Evaluation package have a 30-day evaluation period.", which matches my experience. The process goes like this:
I first install Visual Studio 2012, and license it.
Install Measurement Studio 2013 (2015 now!), which defaults to the Enterprise evaluation, licensing itwith my Standard serial number. This is a part of the installation process: Download http://ftp.ni.com/evaluation/labview/ekit/other/downloader/MStudio2015_downloader.exe on a fresh install and click through, and you'll see that there's a screen in the installer which requests the serial number. I enter it in this step; there's no reason for it to be licensed with the Enterprise trial at any time.
Then, I check out the application from our source control, and open it in Visual Studio. The check out includes the DLLs:
NationalInstruments.Common.dll
NationalInstruments.DAQmx.dll
NationalInstruments.MStudioCLM.dll
NationalInstruments.NiLmClientDLL.dll
NationalInstruments.UI.dll
NationalInstruments.UI.Styles3D.dll
NationalInstruments.UI.WindowsForms.dll
(note that Enterprise Analysis is not included) and the license file:
NationalInstruments.UI.WindowsForms.ScatterGraph, NationalInstruments.UI.WindowsForms, Version=13.0.45.242, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=4febd62461bf11a4

(note that Enterprise Analysis is not included; these are the only UI components that the application used). The project file references the DLLs in the project folder:

Note that NiLmClientDLL and MStudioCLM are not copied to the output folder. A later entry in the project file includes the license file in the build:

I then build the project, make whatever customizations required for this particular build, and we ship the machine. Then, the customer calls 30 days later, complaining that the program won't start.

CAL Licensing For 2008 R2 Standard Server

Hi All
I am upgrading a 2003 Domain Controller with 20 CALs to a 2008 Server R2 Domain Controller that comes with 5 CALs.
Firstly, can I use the existing 20 CALs with the new 2008 R2 server?
Secondly, for the life of me I cannot find anywhere that sells Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard CAL licenses. Which I would require 15 of to match my original 20.
Any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks!
Ashley Colton

Hi Ashley,
For Server 2008 R2 you need 2008 or later version of CALs. You cannot use your 2003 licenses. Typically what you would do is purchase the latest license version (2012) and they will cover the previous version. Below is sample pricing
for 2012 CALs only (no Software Assurance) for Open Business licensing program:
Windows Server 2012 User CAL Open Business Part# R18-04281 $29.47
http://www.provantage.com/microsoft-r1804281~1350612209.htm
Windows Server 2012 Device CAL Open Business Part# R18-04277 $25.63
http://www.provantage.com/microsoft-r1804277~1350612599.htm
I recommend you contact a major Microsoft reseller and ask to speak to a Microsoft Volume Licensing specialist. They can help you determine the correct licensing program for you, give you correct part#s, etc.

Have Acrobat 9 Standard License, but cannot re-install to upgrade to XI

Hello.
I have Acrobat 9 Standard, but have switched hardware to a device that does not have a CD/DVD drive. I want to reinstall so I can update to Acrobat XI.
The problem is that when I looked at the purchase flow to do that, the file is an "upgrade" file, not the full version of Acrobat XI. The old Acrobat download page here: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-8-9-product-downloads.html only has the Pro versions which my license key is not valid.
All other avenues I tried to get a 9 Standard download have failed, so I'm hoping there is a work around to be able to use my license key from 9 Standard and get whatever I need from there. I've searched through these forums but am not finding anything definitive. Anyone?
Thanks.

It's an absurd thing to sell computers without CD/DVD drives, don't you think? It's a weird idea that comes from the US where many people have fabulous broadband, and moving gigabytes to the web to back it up is no issue at all. In my part of the world it's a sick joke. I believe a plug-in CD/DVD drive is an absolute must.
Not least because you'll want to back up Acrobat XI download on to a CD/DVD. If you don't, and in a couple of years Adobe don't offer it any longer, then that's the money down the drain - many times the cost of a drive.
Happily to solve this problem you don't meed to get Acrobat 9 Standard installed. You can indeed put in the license key when asked for it (it will ask for "qualifying product"). You can choose to upgrade to Acrobat XI Standard or Acrobat XI Pro, I think but be very sure to choose Acrobat Standard as your qualifying software.

Coldfusion 10: How to "upgrade" existing "Developer License" to "Standard License"?

Hello,
we've bought a "Standard License" of Coldfusion 10 (Upgrade license from Coldfusion 9).
Now I want to "migrate" an existing Coldfusion 10 Developer version (has been installed as "test version" and degrated to "Developer", now) to our new license.
I entered the license code in the "Coldfusion Adminstrator" webinterface but the "System information" list still shows that I have a "Developer" license. We also restarted the Coldfusion service after setting the license key --> No success. Still Developer edition.
Do I have to reinstall Coldfusion to get it enabled as "Standard version"?
If I have to reinstall: How to back up my settings?
Thanks in advance

Was installed on single standalone server.
Now, I found the following in one of the coldfusion logfiles:
"ColdFusion 64 bit version will not work with Standard License; reverting to the Developer license:"
What does that mean? Adobe offers me the exactly this version for download on licensing.adobe.com...
Can I get a 32bit version for Solaris somewhere?

Server 2008 R2 standard guest license with Server 2008 R2 datacenter Host

Hello Experts,
I have Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter edition based server. Now I want to know that do I have to buy license to activate the guest OS in the VMs like for Server 2008 R2 standard edition, or I can use it for free like in the case of AVMA in server 2012 R2 as it has keys for essentials standard and datacenter edition of server 2012 that can be used with AVMA in order to activate the guest OS license for Free..

Windows 7 64-bit Pro not connecting to SQL Server on domain Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard

I am upgrading computers from Windows XP Professional to Windows 7 Professional but I have a problem getting one of the stock control software programs we use to connect to our SQL Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard from the new Windows 7 computers.
Our computers are connected to a domain and so is the SQL Server. The Windows XP computers allows each standard domain user to log on and connect to the SQL Server via the stock control software program.
But on the Windows 7 Pro computers standard domain users can't connect to the SQL Server but the domain administrator accounts on the same Windows 7 Pro computers can connect to the SQL Server via the stock control program.
I have setup the server alias, server name and port number via the SQL Server Client Network Utility (cliconfg.exe) so I know this isn't the problem as it works when I am logged on as domain administrator.
It seems to be something to do with domain user permissions and Windows 7 Pro. There seems to be a change from Windows XP Pro to Windows 7 Pro that doesn't allow standard domain users to connect to an SQL Server. But I can't find anything about this and
can't workout how to fix it except to make all the users domain administrators which is obviously not a good thing to do. So basically I I think I need to create a group policy that allows the users to connect to the SQL Server but I have no experience doing
this and don't know where to begin.
Thanks for all you guys help and I hope someone can provide me with the solution to this problem.

Hi,
Was there any message?
Please run the stock control software as Administrator to check if it was caused by UAC.
If it could run as administrator, please add the standard domain user to local administrator.

Lms 3.2 and window server 2008 r2 standard

we have bought lms 3.2 and window server 2008 r2 standard. Now we know, it cant be used togetther
Could we upgrade to lms 4.0.1 ? If so, how can we do ?
thank you.
Duyen.

Correct, LMS 3.2 is not supported on Windows 2008 R2. You can upgrade to LMS 4.0 (which is supported on R2), but that is not a free upgrade from LMS 3.x. You can, however, download a free 90-day eval of LMS 4.0 from http://www.cisco.com/go/nmsevals .
It sounds like you need to contact your reseller or account manager to see what they can do. If you just purchased LMS 3.2, you may be able to get a free or discounted upgrade to 4.0.

Could I upgrade my 2008 r2 Standard license to Enterprise ?
