Hi
We are an action pack subscriber in the UK, we currently want to upgrade
our Small Business Server 2003 to R2 but this will upgrade SQL to 2005.
A software product we have is currently only SQL 2000 compatible, we are
working with the providers to ensure stability on 2005, but need a stable
version on 2000 for our day to day use.
Our subscription came with a SQL 2005 licence which we intend to downgrade
to 2000 and install on a separate Windows Server R2.
Now comes my question: does anyone know of who I should contact, ideally
in the UK, to downgrade this version?
Thanks

Hi,
I have the a similar issue. We want to upgrade a customer to SBS 2003 R2
from SBS2000. I spoke to MS in the UK who were no use at all. I posted the
same question to the SBS newsgroup and there was no definitive answer.
In our circumstances, we are going to install SBS2003 R2 without the SQL2005
component and then use a pre-R2 media to install SQL2000.
In your circumstances, it might not be an issue. It won't force you to
upgrade to SQL2005, so, in theory, you can stay with SQL2000. Of course, I
don't know the licensing implications of this, but I know what I'd do......
HTH
