How to install CAL 2008 SQL Server

how to install CAL 2008 SQL Server

Hello,
SQL Server does not keep track of licenses. You cannot register/install licenses on a SQL Server instance. SQL Server uses
an honor system, that means keep licensing papers of a safe place if somebody requires them later.
Hope this helps.

  • How to install SSIS on SQL Server Developer

    I have SQL Server Developer.  I know I can add in SSIS.  Can you tell me the steps to install SSIS on my machine?
    Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

    Hi ryguy72,
    Based on my research, in the version of SQL Server 2014, SSDT BI is no longer included in setup. If we require Integration Services design-time features, we must also install SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT). Installs Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools Business
    Intelligence project templates for Analysis Services, Integration Services, and Reporting Services that support Visual Studio 2012.
    Please download and install Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012 from there:

  • How to secure connection in sql server 2008? my main problem is which certificate should i add in mmc

    i'm recently working on hardening of sql server 2008. now i face with a problem. my problem is  how to secure connection in sql server 2008?  my main problem is which certificate should i add in mmc? what are these certificates about?and guide
    me in choosing the appropriate certificate.
    and how should i know that the connection in sql server is secured?
    plz guide me from the beginning cause i'm rookie in this subject.
    thanks in advance.

    Hi sqlfan,
    Question 1: my problem is how to secure connection in sql server 2008?
    Microsoft SQL Server can use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to encrypt data that is transmitted across a network between an instance of SQL Server and a client application. For more information about Encrypting Connections to SQL Server, please refer to the following
    article:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189067(v=sql.105).aspx
    Question 2: my main problem is which certificate should i add in mmc? what are these certificates about?and guide me in choosing the appropriate certificate.
    To install a certificate in the Windows certificate store of the server computer, you will need to purchase/provision a certificate from a certificate authority first. So please go to a certificate authority to choose the appropriate certificate.
    For SQL Server to load a SSL certificate, the certificate must meet the following conditions:
    The certificate must be in either the local computer certificate store or the current user certificate store.
    The current system time must be after the Valid from property of the certificate and before the Valid to property of the certificate.
    The certificate must be meant for server authentication. This requires the Enhanced Key Usage property of the certificate to specify Server Authentication (1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1).
    The certificate must be created by using the KeySpec option of AT_KEYEXCHANGE. Usually, the certificate's key usage property (KEY_USAGE) will also include key encipherment (CERT_KEY_ENCIPHERMENT_KEY_USAGE).
    The Subject property of the certificate must indicate that the common name (CN) is the same as the host name or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the server computer. If SQL Server is running on a failover cluster, the common name must match the host
    name or FQDN of the virtual server and the certificates must be provisioned on all nodes in the failover cluster.
    Question 3: how should i know that the connection in sql server is secured?
    If the certificate is configured to be used, and the value of the ForceEncryption option is set to Yes, all data transmitted across a network between SQL Server and the client application will be encrypted using the certificate. For more detail about this,
    please refer to Configuring SSL for SQL Server in the following article:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189067(v=sql.105).aspx
    If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

    Similar error (not SQL Express but Enterprise) on my network reveals the following issue (still prevalent after removing and re-adding the machine to the network):
    The kerberos client received a KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED error from the server host/machinename.domainname.local. The target name used was cifs/MACHINENAME. This indicates that the password used to encrypt the kerberos service ticket is different than that on the target server. Commonly, this is due to identically named machine accounts in the target realm (DOMAINNAME.LOCAL), and the client realm. Please contact your system administrator.
    ALSO: The session setup from the computer MACHINENAME failed to authenticate. The name(s) of the account(s) referenced in the security database is MACHINENAME$. The following error occurred: Access is denied.
    This default instance (Ent SQL 2008 on Ent Server 64 bit 2003 R2 SP2) failed with the MOF error using a service account to install SQL 2008.  Repair does not work.   "The SQL Server feature 'SQL_Engine_Core_Inst' is not in a supported state for repair, as it was never successfully configured. Only features from successful installations can be repaired. To continue, remove the specified SQL Server feature."
    I expected to have more luck with the information here:  http://mark.michaelis.net/Blog/CategoryView.aspx?category=.Net but wound up with result seen in my next post.
    Of note, tried the removal of leftover registry entries after a failed install as in link above, also removed sql folders prior to re-install. Error is the same and rather than list entire log here, there is a portion available below but as is evident, there is a permission error in the registry which verifies what mark michaelis has pointed out:

  • SP1 to R2 Upgrade - The installed Version of SQL Server is not supported for the operational database

    Hello, 
    Am trying to upgrade a SCOM SP1 environment to SCOM R2( 3 MGT servers, 1 GW and 2 Web console boxes )
    The prerequisites are failing and it is stating the following ; 
    Operational Database SQL Version Check - The installed Version of SQL Server is not supported for the operational database
    Data Warehouse  SQL Version Check - The installed Version of SQL Server is not supported for the data warehouse
    The SQL servers are running SQL 2012 SP1 64 Enterprise, which is compatible.
    All other pre-upgrade tasks have been done. 
    Help appreciated! 

    I'm having the exact same issue, I believe. I think that Tubble has problem with SCOM 2012. Not 2007.
    I've checked the compatibility list for both SCOM 2012 SP1 and R2. All newer Windows Server and SQL versions are supported. We're running the SQL 2012 SP1 x64 Standard edition on a Windows Server 2012 Standard.
    I even tried to move the database from SQL 2012 to an older SQL 2008 R2, but that's not supported either. Only upgrading. Not downgrading.
    So, I started checking the opsMgrSetupWizard.log file for clues. And the error message was there as well. But the reason why it says not supported is that it can't get the info about the OS version, so I guess it assumes the OS version is to low. The RPC
    service can not be reached.
    [10:29:11]: Error: :GetRemoteOSVersion(): Threw Exception.Type: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException, Exception Error Code: 0x800706BA, Exception.Message: The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA)

    [10:29:33]: Debug: :**************************************************
    So, in our case this was just a FW that was blocking some high ports between management server and SQL. I believe TCP port 135 also needs to be open.
    Let's hope this fixes your issue as well, Tubble.
    Have a great day!

  • How to register VSPackage into SQL Server Management Studio?

    Hi All,
    I am a newer to VSPackage, I want to create a VSPackage for SQL Server Management Studio(SSMS), now I can create a VSPackage project and debug it in Visual Studio but don't know how to debug it in SQL Server Management Studio and how to deploy VSPackage to
    SSMS by MSI? Thanks

    By the way I find a extension.vsixmanifest file and some .pkgdef files under
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\ManagementStudio\Extensions\  folder, and they are very similar with VSPackage files. Do know this is useful or not.
    Hi Vic Zhang,
    After some research, There are some notes. SQL Server Management Studio is built upon the Visual Studio Isolated Shell, which inherently supports extensibility (add-ins/plug-ins). It is possible to tap into the Visual Studio extensibility services to surface
    custom capabilities within SQL Server Management Studio; however, we do not discourage this, keep in mind that such extensibility is not supported, so there may be issues with backward/forward compatibility. Microsoft does not publish documentation for extending
    SQL Server Management Studio.
    If you want to debug VSPackeage about SSMS, I recommend you debug in Visual Studio and not in SSMS, open the project and attach to the process of SSMS.exe, then debug it.
    About the issue of finding the “RootKey”, a .pkgdef file is way to encapsulate application configuration information in an easily editable, distributable, and deployable form. And it registers the Extension Manager (which is written as a VS Package). If
    you install SQL Server 2012, the .pkgdef of SSMS is located in the following path, you can check the “RootKey” in this .pkgdef file.
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\ManagementStudio
    There is detail about a PkgDef, you can review the following article.
