SQL with Manoj

 
I got an email from one SQL Server developer that he is not able to use import/export wizard and it is failing with below error:

TITLE: SQL Server Import and Export Wizard --------------------------------------

Data flow execution failed. Error 0xc0000033: 
{5CCE2348-8B9F-4FD0-9AFA-9EA6D19576A7}: Integration Services evaluation period has 
expired. Error 0xc0000033: {5CCE2348-8B9F-4FD0-9AFA-9EA6D19576A7}: Integration 
Services evaluation period has expired. ------------------------------ 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:  Integration Services evaluation period has expired.

–> Investigate:

As per the above error message its clear that the SQL Server Instance that you had installed was under Evaluation of 180 days, because you didn’t applied any Product Key. So, now how can you make it usable again? All you need is a Product key of SQL Server and installation media to start an upgrade so that you can apply the new Product Key there.
 

–> Fix:

1. Open the SQL Server Installation Center and click on Maintenance link, and then click on Edition Upgrade:

2. Now on the Upgrade window Click Next and you will reach the Product Key page, apply the Key and click Next:

3. On the Select Instance page, select the SQL Instance that you want to fix and Click next. It will take some time and finally you will see a final window and click Upgrade:

4. Finally you will see the successful window, click on Close button:

5. Now Restart the SQL Server Service for this Instance, and you will see it running fine.
 

–> Finally, go back to SSMS and now you can connect to the SQL Instance.
