I have installed MSSQL 2005 on my D: drive of my windows 2003 server, but now need to install MSSQL version 2000 b/c I realized I have one less license than I thought I had. I have build no databases, only the default information. Can I install another instance (being the 2000 instance) on the same drive? If I can't, can I install it on the C
rive without a lot of issues? Or would it be easier to remove 2005 and just start from scratch? The sql version is 9.0. Any help or comments would be greatly appreciated.!!!!!
It 'should' be OK to have both versions.
However, if you are not planning to use the SQL 2005 because of licensing issues, it may prove easier to just remove it. (My attitude is that if there is no license for it, then it shouldn't be on a computer (who knows when the licenising 'police' may show up...)
