Hi,

I'm currently using the evaluation version of ArcGIS for Desktop 10.2. In the ArcGis Administrator I have the advanced license selected. I also have an MS SQL Server 2012 Express set up.

Now, I'm able add this server in the Database Server branch however when I'm trying to create a new geodatabase on the server I'm getting the following error: "Error creating this geodatabase. The application is not licensed to perform this operation."

Does this mean, that I won't be able to create geodatabases on the server as long as I use the evaluation version, even though I have the advanced evaluation option selected? Or is the error caused by something else and is misleading?

Cheers,
Michal

Yep, this worked for me (Option 1 of the fix) with the trial version SQL Express 2012 (w/advanced tools)
