Licensing Microsoft SQL Server 2016 - continued LICENSE MOBILITY All SQL Server 2016 licenses purchased with Software Assurance have License Mobility rights. SQL Server 2014 Standard Server SQL Server 2016 Standard Server. I've came across a lot of SQL Server's in my career that were installed using the Enterprise Edition and never utilized the Enterprise features. Downgrading to a lower edition cannot be done in place. This tip will describe the steps needed to downgrade. SELECT. FROM sys.dmdbpersistedsku.

Method One

  1. Run the full version of SQL setup application.
  2. Select Maintenance > Edition Upgrade.
  3. Select the AutodeskVault instance and start the upgrade.
  4. After the upgrade is complete, apply the latest SQL service pack since this upgrade actually does not have on and it is not transferred from SQL Express.

Method Two

  1. Create a full backup of your vault using the server console. Note: In later steps, you delete all your vault databases. Validate that you can restore this backup on a test server before proceeding. Do not continue if your test restore fails. Correct any problems you have with the backup before continuing these steps.
  2. After the test restore is successful, open the ADMS Console and delete all vaults and libraries listed. Then select Detach Master Vault from the Tools menu.
  3. Make sure that all users are logged out of the vault.
  4. Completely uninstall SQL Express, including the following applications in this order:
    • Microsoft SQL Server 2XXX Note: If you have more than one instance of SQL Express installed, be sure to uninstall only the AutodeskVault instance. DO NOT uninstall any other part of SQL after this step is complete.
    • Microsoft SQL Server 20XX Browser
    • Microsoft SQL Server 20XX Native Client
    • Microsoft SQL Server 20XX Setup Support Files
    • Microsoft SQL Server VSS Writer
  5. Delete the SQL Express folders from Program Files (including data files). If your Vault databases are located on a different drive, be sure to delete the files in this location as well.
  6. Install the full version of SQL with an AUTODESKVAULT instance as in the 'Pre-install Microsoft SQL Server' section.
  7. Install the Microsoft SQL release for your Vault product.
    Note: Refer to the chart on this page or see your Vault System Requirements for which SQL release you should install.
  8. Restore the backup that you created in step one using ADMS Console.

Is it possible to downgrade a Windows Server 2016 Datacenter instance to Windows Server 2016 Standard?

This was marked as a 'licensing question.' In order to keep the question up, I have to make an edit explaining why it's not. My question has nothing to do with the ins and outs of Microsoft licensing. I'm interested in what's technically possible, not what's permitted. Take a look at the accepted answer. It has nothing to do with licensing. (It is true that Microsoft probably makes it impossible to go from Datacenter to Standard for licensing reasons, but that's beside the point.)

DISM CLI tool in Windows Server 2012R2 or lower as well as DISM cmdlets for Server 2016/Windows 10 support only version upgrade not downgrade. With DISM cmdlets you can issue Set-WindowEdition, and Get-Help Set-WindowsEdition clearly says you that this command 'Changes a Windows image to a higher edition'. For dism.exe mentioned by @yagmoth555 documentatin also clearly states: 'Use the /Set-Edition option with no arguments to change an offline Windows image to a higher edition.'
