Hi ljp,

In query analyzer type and run the following.


SELECT @@VERSION


Mine returns:


Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.194 (Intel X86) Aug 6 2000 00:57:48 Copyright (c) 1988-2000 Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 1)

thanks. so if it is an evaluation version it will say so?

i typed in the t-sql statement you advised and this is what i received:

Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.194 (Intel X86) Aug 6 2000 00:57:48 Copyright (c) 1988-2000 Microsoft Corporation Enterprise Edition on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: )


Doesnt say how many processors licensed or if it is an evaluation version.

thanks for the advice

There are a couple of SQL Server versions which report the same thing using @@version, but show more detailed information at the top of their log files on the server - but I forget which versions this applies too :-(

Enterprise Manager : [MyServer] : Managemenent : SQL Server Logs : Current

DoubleClick the "Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00...." line near the top to see the whole message in a popup window
