Hello,

I would like to upgrade sql server 2000 to sql 2005. So Can I install the sql server 2005 on the same server where sql 2000 is already running and then use the database upgrade wizard. Or should I install the sql server 2005 on a different server.

Thanks

Yes, you can host them in the same place, but you should not do that to your production server. There are many differences between the two versions.

Better to check with Microsoft for license issue.
