Hi I am running RMS 1.2 and I think its time I upgrade to 2.0. I was having issues with the 2gb limit of sql 2000 so i am upgrading sql also. To be honest i dont have a problem with 1.2 only for the sql limit it came with. Im thinking of putting in a dedicated server. At the minute im using xp as server and windows 2000 as 2 client tills. so here are questions
1. if i leave version 1.2 in place will it work with windows server 2008 and sql 2008.
2. whats the difference between 1.2 and 2.0?
3.. if i upgrade to server 2008 will windows 2000 be ok as the till clients?
4. I dont seem to have the option to download or buy RMS 2.0. can i do this directly with Microsoft as the guy who installed my 1.2 is not around anymore. I have no problems in doing the upgrade myself.
The old saying don't fix it if its not broken keeps coming into my head. This system has being very solid for me the last couple of years apart from the sql size limit, so i am weary of upgrading it. on the other hand im thinking prevention is the best medicine, as i reached the 2gb limit in my busiest week of the year and it was not good for business.
Should I just upgrade to sql 2005 express and leave all alone??
