Enterprise Edition Downgrade

[mutley1]

Hi all,

quick thought - If i want to downgrade from enterprise edition to standatrd (I know the functionality of EE is not required), would it be a backup of everything, uninstall EE, install Standard and load databases again? Or would a reinstall using Std disk and "change current install" suffice?

Thanks,

M.

M,
Last time I did that I has to un-install and re-install.

Thought so...just a random thought that popped into my head!

Cheers,

You have to uninstall and reinstall. Downgrading isn't supported.
