If you have SQL Server 2008 Trial edition installed, how can you find out how many days are left?

It doesn't seem to be in the Help-About dialog, or anywhere obvious.

edit: Ok, so it did turn out to be in Help-About, see answers...

Apparently, in Management Studio, under Help > About, you'll find what you're looking for.

EDIT: Then there's this one too:

To check how many days left for your trial version you can check out the folder under the following path<>\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log... the creation date of the folder would let you know how long you have been using it. Apart from this, i am not aware of any other places in the DB or server that it is maintained.

  • Ah yes, so it was in Help->About, I just had missed it because of the column widths in the grid that displayed the info. Thanks

For SQl server you have to use management studio:

Help menu --> About --> Now you will see something like this

Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Complete (expires in 127 days) 10.0.2531.0

When you installed licensed SSMS (Client Tools) and Installed Evolution version of SQL Server then it does not works.
