I was wondering what potential issues we may face with upgrading our current SQL Server environment. We were hoping to do an in place upgrade. I'm concerned since our version and licensing will change.
Currently we have SQL Server 2000 Enterprise edition with CAL based licensing on an active (quad six core box) / passive (dual quad core) cluster.
We would like to upgrade in place but go to SQL Server 2005 Standard edition with processor based licensing.
Will the differences between Enterprise/Standard as well as licensing changes cause us issues especially with being in a clustered environment with the servers having varying CPU?
Thank you in advance for your time.
