Supported version and edition upgrades (SQL Server 2022)

Applies to: SQL Server - Windows only

This article lists the supported upgrade paths from the following SQL Server versions, and the supported edition upgrades for SQL Server 2022 (16.x).

You can upgrade from:

  • SQL Server 2012 (11.x) SP4 or later
  • SQL Server 2014 (12.x) SP3 or later
  • SQL Server 2016 (13.x) SP3 or later
  • SQL Server 2017 (14.x)
  • SQL Server 2019 (15.x)

For older versions of SQL Server, you can also Migrate to SQL Server 2022.

Pre-upgrade checklist

  • Before you upgrade from one edition of SQL Server 2022 (16.x) to another, verify that the functionality you're currently using is supported in the edition to which you're moving. For more information, see Editions and supported features of SQL Server 2022.

  • Verify supported hardware and software, including the supported operating system. For more information, see SQL Server 2022: Hardware and software requirements.

  • Before upgrading SQL Server, enable Windows Authentication for SQL Server Agent and verify the default configuration, that the SQL Server Agent service account is a member of the SQL Server sysadmin group.

  • Upgrade is blocked if there's a pending restart.

  • Upgrade is blocked if the Windows Installer service isn't running.

Unsupported scenarios

  • Cross-version instances of SQL Server 2022 (16.x) aren't supported. Version numbers of the Database Engine components must be the same in an instance of SQL Server 2022 (16.x).

  • SQL Server 2022 (16.x) is only available for 64-bit platforms. Cross-platform upgrade isn't supported. You can't upgrade a 32-bit instance of SQL Server to native 64-bit using SQL Server Setup. However, you can back up or detach databases from a 32-bit instance of SQL Server, and then restore or attach them to a new instance of SQL Server (64-bit), if the databases aren't published in replication. You must re-create any logins and other user objects in master, msdb, and model system databases.

  • You can't add new features during the upgrade of your existing instance of SQL Server. After you upgrade an instance of SQL Server to SQL Server 2022 (16.x), you can add features by using the SQL Server 2022 (16.x) Setup. For more information, see Add Features to an Instance of SQL Server (Setup).

Migrate to SQL Server 2022

You can migrate databases from older versions of SQL Server to SQL Server 2022 (16.x), as long as the source database compatibility level is 90 or higher. Databases with a compatibility level of 90 (for example, on SQL Server 2005 (9.x)), are automatically upgraded to a compatibility level of 100 when migrated to SQL Server 2022 (16.x). If the compatibility level on the source database is 100 or higher, it's unchanged on SQL Server 2022 (16.x).

For information, see Upgrade SQL Server to the latest version.

The following tips and tools can help you plan and implement your migration.

  • Migration tools. Migration is supported through Data Migration Assistant (DMA).

  • Backup and restore. A backup taken on SQL Server 2008 (10.0.x) and later, can be restored to SQL Server 2022 (16.x) without changing its compatibility level, as long as the database backup has a compatibility level of 100 or higher.

    Databases with a compatibility level of 90, including backups taken on SQL Server 2005 (9.x), are automatically upgraded to a compatibility level of 100 when restored to SQL Server 2022 (16.x).

  • Log shipping. Log shipping is supported if the primary is running SQL Server 2008 (10.0.x) SP3 or later, or SQL Server 2008 R2 (10.50.x) SP2 or later, and the secondary is running SQL Server 2022 (16.x).

    Warning

    If an automatic or manual failover happens and the SQL Server 2022 (16.x) instance becomes primary, SQL Server 2008 (10.0.x) or SQL Server 2008 R2 (10.50.x) instance becomes secondary and can't receive changes from primary.

  • Bulk load: Tables can be bulk copied from SQL Server 2008 (10.0.x) or SQL Server 2008 R2 (10.50.x) to SQL Server 2022 (16.x).

SQL Server 2022 edition upgrade

The following table lists the supported edition upgrade scenarios in SQL Server 2022 (16.x).

For step-by-step instructions on how to perform an edition upgrade, see Upgrade to a different edition of SQL Server (Setup).

Upgrade from Upgrade to
SQL Server 2022 (16.x) Enterprise (Server+CAL and Core) 2 SQL Server 2022 (16.x) Enterprise

SQL Server 2022 (16.x) Web

Upgrading from Evaluation (a free edition) to any of the paid editions is supported for stand-alone installations, but isn't supported for clustered installations. This limitation doesn't apply to stand-alone instances installed on a Windows Failover Cluster participating in an availability group.

Additionally you can also perform an edition upgrade between SQL Server 2022 (16.x) Enterprise (Server+CAL license) and SQL Server 2022 (16.x) Enterprise (Core License):

Edition upgrade from Edition upgrade to
SQL Server 2022 (16.x) Enterprise (Server+CAL License) 2 SQL Server 2022 (16.x) Enterprise (Core License)
SQL Server 2022 (16.x) Enterprise (Core License) SQL Server 2022 (16.x) Enterprise (Server+CAL License)

1 Also applies to SQL Server 2022 (16.x) Express with Tools and SQL Server 2022 (16.x) Express with Advanced Services.

2 Changing the edition of a clustered instance of SQL Server 2022 (16.x) is limited. The following scenarios aren't supported for SQL Server 2022 (16.x) failover clusters:

  • SQL Server 2022 (16.x) Enterprise to SQL Server 2022 (16.x) Developer, Standard, or Evaluation.
  • SQL Server 2022 (16.x) Developer to SQL Server 2022 (16.x) Standard or Evaluation.
  • SQL Server 2022 (16.x) Standard to SQL Server 2022 (16.x) Evaluation.
  • SQL Server 2022 (16.x) Evaluation to SQL Server 2022 (16.x) Standard.
