In the register product window, there is a space  that says registration 
benefits.  I clicked on it with the Jaws cursor and it took me to a page to 
register 2010.  
I'm not feeling good about getting 2008 registered now.  If anyone has a trick 
please share.

  The link that is too long for one line is below.  However, I didn't find the 
same link today about registering.  Probably a problem between the chair and 
the keyboard.

    G'day Bob and others,

     

    Which download page are you referring too as I didn't spot anything on 
either of the basic and advanced package pages.  I too would be interested to 
know where to find the product key for SQLServer 2008 Express.  Perhaps a phone 
call to MS may be in order?

     

    Cheers.

    AB

    I can find the register now button, but I don't have a key.  I saw 
something on the download page about it so maybe I'll go back there this 
evening and click on the link.

      Have you ever registered any other products? I ask because a popup comes 
up where you have to click on something, you are taken to a Microsoft Website 
where you fill out some stuff and click to register your product, then, on the 
Webpage it gives you a registration code where you copy it. Then you alt tab 
back to your popup that is still on your computer and paste the code into the 
text box and click the register button. You might even have had to have set up 
a password in the Microsoft page. This is all just from memory but I can dig 
into it more if you are not familiar withthe process. The first time you go 
through the registration process with a screen reader is a pain but it works 
even though it is a little confusing. If you need some help I will see if I can 
make a step by step. I know that I had to use the mouse keys, in windowyeyes, 
to click the Register Now button on the popup that asks for the registration 
key after clicking the register under the help menu.

        It looks like I got configuration tools and import and export data 32 
bit.  

         

        How do you get a product key.  I went to help and clicked on register 
and it expected me to already have a key.

         

        Thanks again

          Actually you don't open SqlServer like you do any other application. 
It is just something that runs on your computer. You use some tools to manage 
the Server and you connect to it from within a Application Program that you 
might write. But, you do not open it. When you download it you should have a 
folder entery added to your start menu like Microsoft Sql Server 2008 Express 
or something. If you expand and cursor down the list of items you might see 
something like Configuration Manager, Management Studio and perhaps some other 
things. The Configuration Manager and Managment Studio are the things you click 
on to set properties or do things in your Server or any DataBases you build and 
add to your Server. Like Visual Studio the IDEs of the applications that you 
use are sometimes tricky to get around and use with a Screen Reader. Sql Server 
is a complicated Animal. There is a group of Professionals who usually work on 
diferent aspects of it. There are Database Administraters, Dabase Analysts and 
DataBase Programmers. The Administrators usually use the tools like the 
Configuration Manager, the Analysts might use the Management Studio. 
Programmers will use a language like Visual Basic or CSharp to work with a Sql 
Server Database. If your download and install went ok the server should be 
running whenever you have your computer turned on. What version did you 
download? I mean did you download Sql Server Express 2008 with Tools or with 
Advanced Options or which version? That will determine what applications are to 
be found in the Microsoft Sql Server 2008 folder in your Start Menu and what 
settings might have to be tweaked when you try to use it. Do not change 
anything yet until you know if the install went through ok. Also, I hope you 
made a Restore Point before you installed Sql Server. If your system is set up 
to do it automatically you can use that restore point to back out of that 
install if you have not changed or deleted any files or folders related to Sql 
Server if things go bad. Do not try and remove it manually without reading some 
articles on the steps to do that. Things need to be UnInstalled in a particular 
order and you might get into trouble if done incorrectly so be careful and 
don't change things unless you are sure what you are doing. Remember they pay 
DB Administrators and Analysts anywhere from $50,000 to upwards of 6 figures to 
do the stuff you are now playing with and they don't give them that money for 
nothing!

            It seemed to install fine but I haven't opened it yet.  Are there 
things to watch for when opening it the first time?

              Hi: If you are thinking of UnInstalling or Installing Sql Server 
be very careful! If you have a problem with UnInstlling this software, and it 
has to be done in a particular way or it won't work, you can make it almost 
impossible to ReInstall and in the worst case you might have to ReInstall the 
OS to get VS and Sql Server to work properly. Ask on list about uninstalling 
that puppy unless you know how to do it!
