Not being able to enable AlwaysOn - SQL 2012 Evaluation

Question

Trying to enable Always On Feature of SQL server 2012 But getting the below error

The AlwaysOn Availability Groups feature requires the x86(non-WOW) or x64 Enterprise Edition of SQL Server 2012 (or later version) running on Windows Server 2008 (or later version) . This SQL Server edition and/or Windows Server System does not meet one or more of the requirements.

I have installed all hotfixes as recomended and suggested in the requirement docuemnts for ALways ON.

OS : windows server 2008 R2 X64

Answer 1

Download Enterprise Evaulation Edition RTM (Version 11.0.2100.6) x64 looks like you are using CTP release (11.0.1440.19) 

Answer 2

Answer 3

CTP3 has been outdated for a while now, and should even run into timebombs somewhere soon. Please use the RTM version, you can download the Eval freely from microsoft.com. Once you have that installed we can try to figure out what the problem is...

And btw. CTP3 never fully supported AGs... There was a CTP3-Refresh (for TAP customers only AFAIK) that had the support in it.
