I think I know the answer to the 1st question, but I will throw it out there anyway. I have 2 nodes installed with SQL Server 2014 Ent Eval edition. I am not utilizing any EnteNextrprise features. When I go through the Maintainance process of installing the key for Standard edition I get blocked at the verification stage. I am told I can not do this with a clustered install.
If this is the case what is best/least painful way to install the key. It is not in production, but it is being tested by accounting dept. I can go a day of downtime if I need to. I just want to avoid having to reconfigure anything on report server or client machines.
It is a 2 node active/passive failover with 3 VSAN drives. OS is 2012 R2.
thanks
