Can Power Monitoring Expert (PME) be installed on SQL Server Evaluation Edition?
Issue:
When trying to install Power Monitoring Expert (PME) with SQL Server Evaluation Edition, the installer will fail on the SQL version check.
Product Line:
Power Monitoring Expert, SQL
Environment:
Windows 7, 8, Server 2008, Server 2012
Cause:
The Power Monitoring Expert installer checks to make sure that the SQL version is supported. Unsupported SQL versions will fail this check.
Resolution:
SQL Server Evaluation Edition is not supported on Power Monitoring Expert. This is a full featured trial version of SQL Server that will not function once the trial period has expired.
If the customer does not wish to purchase the full version of SQL, it is recommended to use the SQL Server Express edition that is included on the Power Monitoring Expert media instead. SQL Express is a free, limited feature version of SQL that does not expire.
