Hi All,

I've server "XXX" with 6 Standard Database engine working fine and I'm able to take RDP(Connect SQL instance) from other servers. In "XXX" server SSMS giving evaluation edition expired. So I've planed to uninstall and re-install and did the same. But every time when I try to install SSMS I'm getting below error in middle and installation completing.
Error
" Evaluation period has expired. For information on how to updgrade your evaluation software please go to http://www.microsoft.com/sql/hotobuy"

Solution I tried:
1) Uninstalled all SSMS tool and tried reinstall but no luck.
2) Tried with new installation but no luck.
3) I've replaced SSMS.exe copying from other serer but no luck
4) I tried by editing registry as suggested by Microsoft but no luck

Please help me to figure it out.

Or
5) I've planned to install 2012 SSMS tool.


In Love... With Me!
