Error assessing database with Data Migration Assistant

Louise M 1

I'm getting this error:

The assessment of database 'xxxx' on server 'xxxx' failed.
Feature is expired. FeatureName=CoreEngine

I found the license file - looks like it expired on 1/1/2021. Is it possible to get an updated one?

Louise, I got the error when running > assessment > compatibility issues and feature recommendations.

When trying only running > assessment > compatibility issues : I got some results... I wonder if that could help while full assistance is received

Yes, I got some results too - some deprecated features. Just wasn't sure if I was missing anything with that error.

I sent an email to dmafeedback and got an answer.. sharing as FYI.

Hey,

Now Feature Recommendations does not work and maybe we don’t support this feature anymore. So please don’t check “Feature Recommendations” in the Options category. If you want to know what new features the newer version SQL Server has, please check the official documents.

Thanks,
Siyang
