How to convert SQL standard to MSDN license

Andy Chong 892

Hi Support,

We have a standard license SQL server in testing environment, how can I convert it to MSDN license?
I try to run the "Edition upgrade" to change the license but I don't have the SQL license key of MSDN license.

Thanks

Best Regards
Chong

Hi @Anonymous ,

Thanks. So the SQL standard can convert to MSDN without reinstall the SQL server?

Hi @Anonymous

All SQL server edition in MSDN is no product key.

Simplest solution may be to stand up a new one, install the SQL MSDN version, then do a backup / restore.
