| Dear gurus,I have not been here for a long, long time.Don't know if it means that I have gotten better or not but I do have an urgent question.I am getting back again to sql server admin.We installed an eval copy of sql server db on our server.That eval copy is about to run out.So we purchased a licensed copy.When I attempted to install it, I got a message that says:enter an instance name for this install.After installing it, I could not find the copy that I installed.I still see only the eval copy.When I go to server manager, I see the two but when I go to enterprise manager I see only the eval copy.What am I doing wrong? |

| So did you register the second instance in Enterprise Manager? It doesn't always do this for you.Tara |

| Well you apparently don't have the right credentials to log into SQL Server. Did you try Windows Authentication?Not sure what you mean by I used local system account.Tara |
