But, now I have a 2012 customer and I can’t restore his backup on my laptop without installing 2012.

First time, I worked on a company with SQL server 2008 Standard Edition and We bought a new software, they sent us a preconfigured backup (with data) in SQL Server 2008 R2. We have to use a script but the database was very big and it took a lot of time to run (because of the data)

Now, I face almost the same situation, I’m developing a software, I have SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition and I have a customer with SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition. I can restored a backup from Standard to Enterprise Edition, but I cannot restored a backup from Enterprise to Standard Edition… they are in another city and they prefer to send me backups when they have problems… and I send back the backup with the problem solved.

I can to manage my own licenses, but I can’t do anything if they can’t buy a greater license.

The destination server 10.00.1600 is SQL Server 2008 RTM. You would need to have 2008R2 with at least Service Pack 1 installed in order to restore the DB

I am trying to restore a backup from 2008 R2 to another server running 2008 R2 only but the versions are different means the source database running 10.50.2500 but the server where I am trying to restore the database is running 10.00.1600. How do I restore the backup?

I am pretty sure it has nothing to do with licensing rules, but more to do with the fact that the backup files made in server 2012 have been changed (probably at least three times) since the last update to 2005 has been released.

MS is doing everything it can to end its run for this product, in my opinion. Maybe they don’t need the revenue at like $30K a pop. Raise it to $60K and I can hire a guy for months to find me some other option.

Not to mention what it’s costing my client to research the situation. And what it costs to figure out the byzantine licensing rules in the first place. And to this day I haven’t found the legal document defining CALs. Please don’t respond and try to explain it to me. I know what MS WANTS it to mean. I want the legal mumbo jumbo the lawyers will argue over so I can ask them what it means. The opinion of no one else counts, including MS “agents” who are not actually legal agents at all.

It’s a world full of children these days.

In this case you have to have one machine with SQL 2005 ( our lowest supported version ) to create new databases and then SQL 2012 ( our highest supported version ) to do data analysis.

It would be nice to be able to downgrade and keep only SQL 2012.
But a workaround with two machines works fine.
