Hi,

We have 2005 Standard Edition in our production environment and 2005 Developer Edition in dev. Recently we started using a feature in dev only to realize it was an Enterprise specific feature when we wanted to move it to prod. Is there any way to turn off the enterprise features in developer edition so it behaves just like standard edition?

Thanks
Charlie

what feature are you talking about?

from http://www.microsoft.com/sql/editions/developer/default.mspx:
quote:

Developer Edition includes all of the functionality of Enterprise Edition, but is licensed only for development, test, and demo use.

The one that got us was an advanced transformation that is only available in the EE version of SSIS. We were able to work around it, but that's not the point. I don't want some other EE feature to creap into our development work and go unnoticed. I need the test software to be idential to prod, but I don't want to shell out the money for two copies of SQL. Developer Edition is dirt cheap.....
