Update SQL version on Vault 2012

Anonymous — Wed, 29 Mar 2017 17:53:42 GMT

I am trying to move our vault to a new server. I have installed the vault on the new server and made a backup on the old server.

When trying to restore on the new server it says SQL version incompatible. The version of SQL Express 2008 r2 express old server is a newer version than what I can download from the Autodesk downloads. I have tried to download the version number from Microsoft but the Vault database is greyed out and will not upgrade. Doesn't anyone know a work around or has a link to newer SQL Express versions for Vault?

Hello,

SQL Server Express is a free edition. You can download it from the Microsoft website.

Your only limitation is what is supported by your vault version:
