Restrictions on Installing SSMS and SSDT (SQL Server 2012) on multiple clients

Our company has a license for SQL Server 2012 (either Standard or Enterprise, I'm not sure which). We need to set up several client machines to manage the server and want to install SSMS on those machines. In addition, a couple users need
to be able to edit SSIS packages using SSDT.
My question. Using the SQL Server 2012 license we own, are we free to install SSMS, Books Online, and SSDT on any computer in our company, without any additional cost? We won't be installing any other SQL Server component on those machines.
If someone can post a link to the Microsoft web site that verifies that, I would appreciate it.

Hi,
According ‘Licensing SQL Server 2012 Components’ section in Microsoft
SQL
Server 2012 Licensing Guide:
Management tools and other software identified as additional or supplemental software—such as product documentation, client connectivity tools, software add-ins, and SDKs—can generally be distributed and run on any number of devices for use with a licensed
instance of SQL Server software. Refer to the Volume Licensing PUR for a list of additional software components provided with SQL Server 2012.
Hope the information helps.

How to install SSMS on for SQL Server 2012 Express, Windows 8.1

I've installed Visual Web Developer 2010 and SQL Server Express 2012 on my Windows 8.1 machine. But there's no SSMS included. When I search the Microsoft web space, I find articles pointing to installers that crash, and downloads that have
no ".exe" (etc.,) extension.
Can somebody please point me to the right starting place for this?

Hello,
On the following link click on the “Download” (red button).:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29062
Then click on the checkbox next to the Management Studio version you would like to install:
ENU\x86\SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU.exe (32-Bit)
ENU\x64\SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe (64-bit)
Then click on the “Next” button (grey color) on the right side.
Hope this helps.

Hi Warsame12,
It is worth mentioning that don’t use IPV6 PXE, Windows 7 doesn’t support WDS 2012 deployment over IPv6 PXE. If IPv6 PXE boot is enabled and a
Windows 7 installation is selected, a blank screen will appear and Setup will not run.
The related KB:
Windows 7 client deployment over IPv6 PXE network boot does not work.

Installing SharePoint 2013 with SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition

Hi,
Can we use SQL Server 2012 Developer edition with SharePoint 2013? One thing that came to my mind was setting max degree of parallelism, is that supported in Developer edition? Looking forward to your assistance here.
Thanks,
kashif

I'm slightly incorrect. See http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/4/A/64A1EC8F-F575-41E1-9D34-821FA9F98F8E/SQL_Server_2012_Licensing_Reference_Guide.pdf.
Licensing SQL Server for Non-production Use
The SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition is a full-function version of the SQL Server software—with all the
features and capabilities of the Enterprise edition—licensed under the Developer Tools model, which is a “per
user” model. One license is required for each person that accesses or uses the software.
When using SQL Server software for development, test or demonstration purposes, only the users are licensed
and there is no need for a corresponding license for the actual server systems running SQL Server software in
this case.
As long as only licensed users have access to the software, customers can install as many copies of the software
on any number of servers that are used exclusively for development, test or demonstration purposes. This
is significant, because it allows customers to run the software on multiple devices (for testing purposes, for
example) without having to license each non-production server system.
But no, as you can see above, you'll have no issues with the software (Developer Edition is Enterprise Edition with licensing restrictions, but no functionality restrictions).

SSMS.exe for SQL Server 2012 is getting Application Error: The exception unknown software exception (0xe0434352) occurred in the application at location 0x75c5c42d.

SQL Server 2012 Management Studio attempting to log into a SQL Server 2012 instance on a remote server using SQL Authenticated login.
What does this error mean and what can I do to fix it?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Nick,
Have you seen any additionally information from Windows Event Viewer?
Based on my research, exception code e0434352 is the exception code used internally by the CLR to represent most exceptions(*), it could mean anything. If you want to find out exactly what the real error is, please review this
blog.
In addition, in such case, Microsoft .Net Framework may need to be updated or repaired on your computer. For more details, you can refer to the following similar thread.

Which service pack should I install if I have SQL Server 2012 RTM version 11.0.2100.60

I read the recommendation "SQL Server 2012 RTM is no longer in mainstream support. If you wish to continue getting fixes, you should absolutely plan on migrating to the SP2 branch;" from
http://blogs.sqlsentry.com/team-posts/latest-builds-sql-server-2012/. I am not quite sure how I can migrate from RTM to SP2. Thank you in advance.
cy

Hi,
Yes RTM version of SQL Server 2012 is not supported. You have to apply SQL Server 2012 SP2 below link will help you in doing it

Installing and configuring SQL server 2012 network options

Hello
I'm hoping someone here can help as i'm investigating deploying always on availability groups.
I have two out standing questions.
what network protocol is used for the Availability group synchronization (needed to check that our optimisation tools can work with it ) I believe it's just standard TCP/IP but if not can some one confirm.
can the SQL 2012 share a dark network with exchange?
I've been searching online but can't find the a solution.
thanks in advance

SQL is a service which normally uses either port 80 or 8080 and underline transport layer is TCP. The data transfer are done in XML. You can either setup the credentials using SQL or use a windows credential which uses Group Policies so you don't have
to use a connection statement with a Username and Password. It is automatically done under the hood like any remote windows connection. You can setup a database in SQL using a single windows credential password and then add users to the windows group
so you don't have to add each user to the database credentials.

SQL Server 2012 Express SP1 will not install on Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2

I have been attempting to install SQL Server 2012 with SP1 Express Edition for about a two weeks and have been unsuccessful. My organization recently purchased a new Dell PowerEdge T320 Server (64 Bit) with Intel Xeon Proc.-E5-2420; 2.2Ghz, 32 Gb RAM,
1 Tb RAID 5 H/D, and Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials (preinstalled). The server will be configured as an on premises server. We are running a small church management application that requires SQL Server 2012 SP1 Express. Per the direction
of our application vendor, we downloaded the SQL Server 2012 SP1 Express file (SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe) from the Microsoft SQL Server Website. We ran the file "As Administrator" and the SQL Server 2012 Setup program began.
We selected New SQL Server Stand-Alone Installation, successfully installed the needed Product Updates, and accepted the MS SQL Server 2013 Express License terms.
When the Feature Selection Page appeared we checked only the "Data Base Eng Services". The
Instance Configuration Page was displayed and we inserted a "Named Instance= Shelby",then pressed next. On the
Server Configuration Page the only change was setting the "sql server browser = automatic". The Database Engine Configuration Page appeared
and we inserted the following settings:1] Server Configuration Tab; a) mixed mode, b)inserted SQL Server Admin pswd, c) added current user as administrator: 2] Data Directories Tab; default/no changes: 3] User Instanced Tab; default/no
changes: and 4] Filestream Tab; default/no changes. Next the
Reporting Services Configuration Page came up and the reporting services native mode was set to
"install and configure". The Error Reporting Page appeared and was left as the
"default". The SQL Server 2012 Setup program proceeded to Installation Progress Page and started to install. Just before the install program ended it displayed a message saying that there
were errors and the Database Eng Services did not succeed. I uninstalled SQL Server 2012 SP1 Express three (3) times, ran Windows Update after every uninstall, attempted to install the Database Engine and got the same results. Are there any patches or
special procedures for correctly installing SQL Server 2012 SP1 Express on my hardware configuration or Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Can you post the setup Summary and detail logs, which will help to figure out the problem? The details about the location can be found at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143702(v=sql.110).aspx

Unable to run sql server 2012 setup

Hi All,
I installed SharePoint 2013 on Application Server and Database(Sql Server 2012) on another server. But for reporting application I need to install some components of SQL on Application Server as well. When I try to run the installer it crashes and
shows this below dialog box.
When I debug this I get the below error.
I saw some suggestions saying it won't work with Remote Desktop so directly connected the monitor to the server and tried to install but nothing works again. Let me know if I am doing anything wrong.
Thanks,

Hi,
Did you install the .net framework 4.0?
Meanwhile, for the SQL issue, i think you may ask in SQL forums:

Unable to uninstall sql server 2012 from Windows 7(ultimate) 64-bit SP1 version.

I am trying to install sql sever 2012 on my m/c but it's giving me error after partial installation.
Now I have successfully installed Sql Server 2008 R2 on my machine but when I am trying to uninstall 2012 sql server from my machine its giving an error regarding unsupported OS. However as mentioned earlier I have Windows 2007 Ultimate SP1 (64-bit) installed
on my machine which is included in valid platform for sql server 2012. Also I installed visual studio 2013 on my machine but it existed with error SqlServer\LocalDB not installed.

Hi pritamk,
According to your error message, as other post, you can uninstall SQL Server from command line, inaddition, another workaround is that change the compatibility mode of setup.exe to Vista SP2, then run “Remove” option from the control panel. You can refer
to the following steps.
Browse to your SQL setup bootstrap folder, For SQL Server 2012, this is the path "C:\Program Files \Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\SQLServer2012\".
Go to Setup.exe file and right click on Setup.exe. Then go to properties and click on "Compatibility" tab. Under "Compatibility mode", click on Run this program in compatibility mode for "Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)". Then Click on "Apply" then "OK".
After that go to control panel -> Programs and Features -> and remove SQL Server 2012
There is similar issue about uninstalling SQL Server 2012 RC0 from control panel. You can review the following post.

SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services, Report Manager - Page not found

Hi all,
I am working on migrating reports to a new server so we can upgrade to a new machine and to SQL Server 2012 SP2. The machine is up and running on Windows Server 2012 and I have installed SQL Server EE 2012 SP2. I have imported the three databases
from 2008R2
* Report Server
* ReportServer TempDB
* RSSubscribers
I have re-applied the encryption keys and I was thinking that everything was good to go until I went to try and manage the subscriptions on a report. I select a report, use the drop arrow to get to manage
and then try to select any of the options such as subscriptions and I get a "Page Not Found Error"
If I take the URL and paste it in another browser, putting the previous server name in, it works fine. So, the URL works fine... I have no idea as to what I should do to figure out the problem. I am considering rebuilding the whole install
just to see if that would fix it.
Thanks

Hi SqlDude,
According to your description, you have bind SSL to a Reporting Services URL Reservation. Now you find in your Report Manager, the Subscription page still start with "http://". Right?
In this scenario, we need to change setting in rsreportserver.config file. Go to rsreportserver.config in "\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Reporting Services\ReportServer". Find <Add Key="SecureConnectionLevel" Value="0"/>.
Change the value into "3".
Acceptable values are:
3 Most secure—Use SSL for absolutely everything.
2 Secure—Use SSL for rendering and methods that pass credentials but don't insist on it for all SOAP calls.
1 Basic Security—Accepts http but rejects any calls that might be involved in the passing of credentials.
0 Least Secure—Don't use SSL at all.
Besides, if you want to submit a feedback to Microsoft, please feel free to submit
your situation on our product to the following link:
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.
