Hi,
I am a complete database newbie.
A friend has asked for some help in transferring their database and software to a new PC (server).
I got a look at the system on Friday past and had a couple of questions:
1.) Its SQL Server 2008, can I install it on the new PC using the same key? If so, how do you extract the key from the installation if possible?
2.) Is there a guide for setting up an installation of SQL from scratch?
3.) I presume I can backup the SQL database from old PC and import into new PC after initial installation etc is done?
4.) Do I need to install anything additional? I know .net framework is a requirement.
Many thanks for any responses, I don't want to make a balls of it as you can imagine. Was going to download and install it on my PC first and run through things.
cheers!
