Upgrading from CRS 3.x to 4.0 - MS SQL2K Question

[christy.kim]

I am planning to upgrading from CRS 3.x to 4.0. We are currently running MSDE 2000 for our database. We want to upgrade to MS SQL Server 2000 when we upgrade our servers to 4.0. Does MS SQL Server 2000 come with CRS 4.0? or will I have to order a license for this separately? If I have to order this separately, do you know the part number for this item?

Lastly, I read that there is a utility tool that has the same functionality similar to the 4.0 installer that will do analysis on your system on the size of each data that needs to be migrated, disk capacity etc. Does anyone know where I can get this utility?

Thanks.

I think MS SQL Server 2000 does come with CRS 4.0

SQL Server 2000 must be ordered separately. Check the configuration and ordering tool for details.

The tool you are looking for is the CRS 4.0 Pre-Upgrade Check Tool (CRS4PreUpgradeCheck). You can download it from this location.
