Upgrading from evaluation to evaluation

For a lab I am to upgrade a windows 2008 r2 evaluation to a windows 2012 r2 evaluation in a VM. The instructor insists that it can be done and that someone from a previous class has already done it. The system meets all requirements. How can it be done
if at all.

I just came from another forum where the same request was posted by a couple other people.
Evidently some 'professor' is asking for this for a class project.  Personally, I would tend to confront the professor to ask 'to what purpose'?  Never tested.  Not supported.  No practical use.  Any method to accomplish this would
not be using Microsoft tools.  I really wonder what the professor is hoping to prove with this ridiculous request.

  • Unable to connect to SCOM server how to upgrade from evaluation

    hi all,
    I have MS SCOM 2012. I tried to open 'Operation Manager Console' and got error
    "Failed to connect to server <server name>.
    The service threw an unknown exception. see inner exception for more details.
    In these details: I found it says
    you have exceeded evaluation period of this product. Please upgrade to retail version to continue using the product.
    I found similar threads which says to renew using product key. but I cannot go operation manager shell also.
    In the shell, it says same, cannot connect to operation manager management server. although I can connect to sql server locally.
    so do I need to uninstall and reinstall retail version of SCOM completely or it there any other way to do it?????
    thank you in advance.

  • Error Upgrading from the Evaluation Version of Microsoft Lync Server 2013

    Hi,
    I try to upgrade from Evaluation to full Version using:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg521005.aspx
    but after i run: msiexec.exe /fvomus server.msi EVALTOFULL=1 /qb
    i get a popup:
    "Another version of this product is already installed. installation of this version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel."
    Get-CsServerVersion :-> Microsoft Lync Server 2013 (5.0.8308.0): Evaluation license key installed.
    Any ideea?

    Hi Iulius
    As your upgrading the Licence on the Lync 2013 FE it shouldn't care about the Lync 2010 Environment. As your moving from Eval to Full Licence on 2013. I have come across the below url that might help.
    http://pei.com/2013/03/how-to-change-lync-license-from-evaluation-to-licensed/
    http://jackstromberg.com/2013/02/how-to-activate-lync-evaluation-to-licensed-version/
    I would personally go with from Lync Management Shell with Elevated Permission
    cd /
    cd /d: (Other what other drive letter)
    cd /Setup\Amd64\Setup
    msiexec.exe /fvomus Server.msi EVALTOFULL=1 /qb
    But that's just me Id rather run the command from the directory than pointing to it.

  • Upgrading from 2012 Standard Evaluation (Domain Controller) to 2012 R2 Standard Full

    Hello,
    My company recently wanted to move from a Linux domain controller to a Windows system. We downloaded and installed Server 2012 Standard evaluation, set up a domain, and made sure things were working well. Now, we want to purchase the full copy, but we see
    that 2012 R2 is now out.
    We would like to purchase R2, but somehow do an in-place upgrade. From what I can tell, we have a few hurdles:
    *No upgrade path from 2012 Evaluation to 2012 R2 Full
    *Cannot upgrade evaluation with DC role to full
    What would be the recommended course of action to take here? We do have an unused machine here that could serve as a secondary domain controller that currently has no OS installed, but we don't want to buy 2 server licenses at this time if we can help it.
    Thanks,
    B
    Braden

    As far as i know you can't upgrade an eval to a full install on 2012. 
    you could build a new server using server 2012 R2 depends on how you normally purchase software you might be able to install without likening initially as you get a grace period. Build a new DC in the existing domain and then demote the current DC, then
    rebuild it using 2012 R2, licence it and then install it back as a DC and demote the other one you created.

    Upgrade means
    moving from your existing operating system release to a more recent release, while staying on the same hardware. For example, if your server is running Windows Server 2012, you can upgrade it to Windows Server 2012 R2. You can upgrade from an evaluation version
    of the operating system to a retail version, from an older retail version to a newer version, or, in some cases, from a volume-licensed edition of the operating system to an ordinary retail edition.

  • Evaluation upgrade to Evaluation

    Hi all,
    is there any way to test upgrade process with only Evaluation versions? I'd like to make a test via upgrading Windows 2012 Eval to Windows 2012 R2 Eval, however the installer ends with error saying the upgrade is not possible...
    Regards!
    R.*

    Hi,
    You cannot upgrade from Windows server 2012 evaluation version to Windows server 2012 R2 evaluation version. Just as Milos said, if you want to
    use Windows server 2012 R2 evaluation, you need to delete the previous operate system and perform a clean installation. Or you can convert the evaluation version of Windows Server 2012 to a full retail version and then upgrade it to Windows server 2012 R2.
    Best regards,
    Susie

  • Upgrade from SCCM 2012 SP1 CU4 to R2 Fails - Unsupported Upgrade Path

    Hi everybody,
    I'm currently upgrading our SCCM infrastructure to SCCM 2012 R2 after have finished with the upgrade from SCCM 2012 RTM to SP1 CU4, thus far everything works fine, but when I try to update any

    I confirm that this one site is a secondary one that's attached to a primary site and this log is from the CAS server, I managed to tall it and delete it from that site, but still appears listed
    on the CAS management console, any idea how to force the removal of a secondary site that's attached to a primary from the CAS site when it has been removed already from said primary?
    I've already tried the
    Preinst /DELSITE XXX  command but it only works when the site to remove it's attached to the local site and certainly not from a CAS
    Finally,  the version, build number and everything is correct, no idea what could be the problem, does anybody know a way to bypass this or force the re-evaluation of this rules, I've got
    the impression that it's being cached somehow.
    Any help would be highly appreciated,
    Thank you.

    Hello again everybody,
    I've finally managed to fix this up, in the end I had to delete those entries manually from the database as Garry suggested. After this was done the upgrade has gone through as expected with no further ado and has finalized already, now moving on to the
    primary sites.
    If anybody out there is facing the same issue, what I did was to delete those "stubborn" records executing the following statements over the CAS database:
    DELETE
    FROMServerDataWHERESiteCode='XXX'
    DELETE
    FROMSC_SiteDefinitionWHERESiteCode='XXX'
    And this is pretty much about it. I'd recommend to take a proper backup first though as best practice.
    Thank you all anyways for your answers and comments,

    Hi,
    Upgrade from RTM is not possible without CU. You must at least have CU4 installed. I will suggest you install CU7.

  • BW Upgrade from 3.5 to 7.3 directly

    Hi All,
    We are planning to upgrade one of our client systems from 3.5 to 7.3 directly. After checking with SAP we have come to the conclusion that we can upgrade our system directly to 7.3 version without going to 7.0 and then to 7.3 process.
    But now my question is what are the security related work we are going to perform after the 7.3 upgrade as the older version 3.5 authorization concept is not supported in the 7.3 version.
    Kindly suggest if any one has performed the direct BW upgrade from 3.5 to 7.3.
    Thanks in advance...

    Hi,
    We have started to perform the BW upgrade activity. After performing the pre-Upgrade steps we are starting the Upgarde. When we were trying to toad the SAPUP as described in the guide we have got the below error :
    To start the Upgrade :
    Login as QSECOFR user load the upgrade tool
    Command :  QSH CMD('/<DVD mount directory>/DATA_UNITS/UM_SAPCAR_OS400_PPC64/loaduplib <SID>')

    So we had raised the SAP message for the loading issue then SAP recommended us to run the below commands twice and error will be resolved :
    QSH CMD('/QOpenSys/usr/bin/sh -x /<DVD mount directory>/DATA_UNITS/UM_SAPCAR_OS400_PPC64/loaduplib <SID>' > /usr/sap/<SID>/loaduplib.trc 2> /usr/sap/<SID>/loaduplib.err')
    Which I did and then :
    2. ADDLIBLE SAPUP
    3. STARTUP SID(BWD) TYPE(*ABAP) DVDPATH('<DOWNLOAD DIR>') UPGDIR('/usr/sap/<SID>/upg')
    I can see that the JOB is started and when I start the GUI on browser using http://<HOSTNAME>:4239
    Its not opening the upgrade GUI.
    Please some one help me in resolving the issue as AS400 is new to me and for the 1st time that I am working on this OS.
    Thanks in advance.....
    Thanks & Regards.

  • Why upgrading from Oracle 8i to Oracle 9i?

    Hi,
    The company I work in is evaluating whether upgrading from 8i to 9i of Oracle database. Apart from the fact that it's always usefull and reasonable to upgrade towards the latest versions, it seems to me that the main features of version 9i are with reference to the data warehouse management that where I work we don't use. From the viewpoint of PL/SQL are there particular differences between 8i and 9i? In other words I have to point out important reasons for justifying the upgrade? Thanks!

    Both versions are already de-supported. Other than taking advantage of new features that newer versions of database software provide, it is necessary to keep pace with upgrades so as to stay in support and continue to get security fixes/patches. Each new version has a "New Features" guide that lists the new features as compared to the previous release.

  • Related to Upgrade from 9.3.1 to 11 version

    Hi Experts,
    I need to upgrade from 9.3.1 to 11.1.1.3/11.1.2.1.
    I know recommeded to install on new servers;
    1) What if client ask to upgrade (no new server) on existing one.
    2) How to handle if we have already Tomca Appache (app server) on 9.3.1 and now 11 doesn't support.
    what points to keep in mind with these two challenges to reduce some complexity.
    Regards
    Kumar

    I think your question is not one that can always be answered quickly on a forum but it is worth you having a read of the following on Oracle support - "Upgrade Advisor: Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) System Upgrade from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.1 [ID 324.1]"
    Yes it is 11.11.3 to 11.1.2.1 but it goes through all the different stages from evaluation to acceptance, the information provided is relevant to other versions.
    It is possible to upgrade from on the same server, tomcat is no longer supported so the web app server used will be weblogic.
    There is also details in the documentation about upgrading - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epm_install_11121/frameset.htm?ch05.html

  • Upgrade from JDK 1.2.2 to JDK 1.4.2. Any code changes required?

    Hi,
    We are in the processes of upgrading the JDK versions on servers to JDK 1.4.2 to support other software upgrades.
    The JDK versions on each of the servers are at different versions. On one of the servers, the version of JDK is currently at JDK 1.2.2_10. Can somebody please advise me if there would be any code changes required to support this upgrade (such as some methods being depreciated)?
    We are also evaluating if we need to upgrade to JDK 1.4.5. In such a case, would there be any code changes required to upgrade from JDK 1.4.1_x to JDK 1.4.5. I assume there wouldn't be any changes for this minor upgrade but just want to confirm.
    I would really appreciate an early reply.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Vamshi

    "1.4.5" - you meant "1.5" ? :)
    About deprecations -- you will be warned by the compiler. E.g. "assert", "enum" are keywords and cannot be used as method names.
    The rest depends on your application. The more complex it is, the more differences can be encountered. You certainly need to run a test cycle for it with the new platform.
    From my experience, I can list some issues that I have read about or have experienced myself:
    1) serialization: the algorithm used to calculate the serialVersionUID had some changes between Java versions, due to compiler-added extra methods.
    If you don't have serialized instances, or your serialVersionUID is specified explicitly, you are safe.
    2) class loading order can be different in different platforms
    Once ago I have seen a paper from BEA Systems highlighting some open topics that can arise when migrating between different vendor's JVMs. Probably, it is the one:
    http://edocs.bea.com/jrockit/geninfo/devapps/codeprac.html
    In my friend's case, there was some class-initialization logic, that behaved differently when class loading order changed.
    3) Swing applications can sometimes behave slightly different.
    E.g., I observed some changes in focus handling, although minor ones. Fixed with several lines of code.
    4) Some libraries can depend on particular J2SE version. E.g. J2EE ones.
    E.g. I was not able to run J2EE 1.4 thick client application with JRE 1.5. The j2ee library used by the app either had some dependencies on sun.* classes, or on some protocols (not sure, I don't remember it well).
    5) Regression bugs are sometimes encountered. I.e. something that worked, does not work now.
    Summary: You need testing.

  • Upgrade from 46c to ECC6.0 : Java or Java-AddIn ?

    Hello
    Can you explain me what is the difference between Java and Java-AddIn as proposed in evaluation phsae of an upgrade from 46c to ECC6.0?
    Thank You.

    Hi Alain,
    But if we implement a JavaAddin solution today, do you think it will be possible to create a Java instance later to create a Portal solution ?
    If you implement a java addin today then you can use later for portal solution.

    Hi Hari,
    If you are interested to get a free evaluation on the level of complexity of your BC projects and the amount of work required for the migration please contact us and we can perform this evaluation and estimation for you.
    Our product BC2XI is the only BC to PI migration product which is [Netweaver content certified|http://www.sap.com/ecosystem/customers/directories/SoftwareISVSolutions.epx?context=21B87D61C0F646A22B2A6DB254A010CA8C9C141B7529F029910FE6FF9EEEC5A701BF20EED61AC07159D98BAA068EBE1B8C5C7665EA2226374E942CF1D2A49D202711A97F135182CC%7c681CA45EAFF1066138C1B9B28AACD541&response=shared] and the only product which you can actually see a demonstration of (go to [http://www.sisusoftware.com]). We hear about other products, but these don't seem to have any public availability (at least which one could see).
    It is completely feasible to automate the migration of BC records, flows, flow elements, graphical maps, 100+ of the BC built-in functions, output templates, etc. it is just very, very complex

  • Reasons to upgrade from CRM 4.0 to CRM 7.0 ?

    Hi Experts,
    We have CRM 4.0 working on our client system. Why should they upgrade from CRM 4.0 to CRM 7.0 ?
    A few reasons that I can think of are :
    1)  SAP will not support CRM 4.0 -
    But they can get maintenance support from SAP although at a higher cost
    2) CRM WebClient - fast and easy to configure and maintain -
    but this is not so convincing a reason that they should upgrade   and then almost implement whole of CRM again. They already have Portal.
    3) Some new functionality added by SAP in the newer versions-----That is good but their business is working good with the existing functionality of CRM 4.0
    Please provide some compelling reasons so that we can ask our client to go for upgrade.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Vikas

    Hi Vikas,
    Although your customer happy with the functions in CRM 4.0, and they are willing to pay extra money for extended maintenance fee. SAP will end the support of CRM 4.0 sooner for later.
    Other reasons I could mention:
    1. if there is Java stack then the support of jave stack and the jdk version 1.3.1 is ended.
    2. CRM architecture was changed since CRM 6.0 and and 7.0 provided New tools and assistants simplify, standardize, and reduce development effort significantly, i.e. less code development, more flexible customizing. From this prospective, 7.0 is the investment safe release for long-term
    3. Enhancement of existing functions, details can be found in CRM 7.0 Release notes
    4. If you use compoenent like TREX, definately you will be benefit from newer version, stable, faster etc.
    There should be a lot, and you can order upgrade value proposition service from SAP for formal evaluation.
    Cheers,
    Denny
