Editor's Notes
- Welcome to, ‘RIP SQL Server 2005 - Time to Move On.’
- For today’s webinar we are discussing the upgrade paths and practices for getting away from SQL Server 2005. This is important to discuss now because as of April 12th, 2016 it will no longer be covered under Microsoft’s extended support. This means that there will no longer be any security updates released to fix security risks. Moderator Interjection April will be here before we know it! What’s the first tip?
- Our first tip is to check with the vendors of the applications that are using SQL to ensure compatibility with later versions before migrating to a newer version. Nothing would be worse than upgrading and having an incompatible product! This planning will help you save a headache down the road.
- Once you have checked compatibility, your next step is to run the SQL upgrade advisor to check the system for any issues that may hinder the upgrade process. Once the advisor comes back clean you are ready to upgrade! Moderator Interjection That’s an important first step, Jennifer! What’s next?
- Our next tip revolves around deciding which new SQL version for your business to upgrade to. If you decide to only upgrade to SQL Server 2008 R2 you will find it nearly impossible to find licensing. This is because microsoft has discontinued their sale of these licenses. Instead, you will need to purchase newer licensing and take advantage of downgrade rights.
- For SQL Server you are allotted downgrade rights for two versions back. This means if you want SQL Server 2008 R2, you can purchase SQL Server 2014 Open Business Licensing to give you compliance with SQL Server 2008 R2 databases. Likewise, purchasing SQL Server 2016 licensing will give you compliance with SQL 2014 and 2012.
- Another important thing to point out is the difference in the SQL licensing methods. While you can still buy licensing based on a server plus user or device CAL model, the processor model has changed. Instead of one license per processor, you are now buying one license per core regardless of it being a physical or virtual environment. This option is more expensive, but offers unlimited users.
