SQL SERVER SERVCIES STOPPED SUDDENLY STATING ERROR EVALUATION SERVICE EXPIRED !

What is your question?!?

You give us your symptom, but what is your question?!?
OK, the "EVALUATION SERVICE EXPIRED", how can we help you? We won't buy the full version  for you :-)

* you have the option to buy a licence or use the free edition (SQL EXPRESS)

** There is a developer licence which is less than 100$ as much as I know.

*** Question regarding the licence: If you are in north america you need call 1-800-426-9400, Monday through Friday, 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. (Pacific Time) to speak directly to a Microsoft licensing specialist, and you can get more detail information from them. Worldwide customers can use the Guide to Worldwide Microsoft Licensing Sites to find contact information in their regional locations: http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/worldwide.aspx

Krotha,

Where would you get free developer edition ? Please dont disseminate wrong information.

Modern India,

Learn to ask correct question, this forum does not entertain one line question. We cannot help if evaluation edition has expired. Buy new licensed edition and perform edition upgrade
