Upgrading one edition of Microsoft SQL Server 2008 to Another Edition of SQL Server 2008


There are two options for upgrading to a different edition of SQL Server 2008:

1) Use the Edition Upgrade Wizard from the SQL Server installation media. See this link for step-by-step instructions

2) Run setup from the command prompt with the SKUUPGRADE=1 parameter. See this article for more information.

The following is an example of the second option:

D:\SQL Server x86\Servers>setup.exe ADDLOCAL=SQL_Engine INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER UPGRADE=SQL_Engine SKUUPGRADE=1 /qb

Parameters are case sensitive.

All service packs and cumulative updates you have installed prior to the upgrade need to be installed again.
