SQL server 2014 upgrade Error: The driver release (11) is lower than the server release (12)

[Former Member]

Hi foks

I´m trying to upgrade my sandbox system to sql server 2014.

I´m going with backup/restore way to a new sql server.

The problem in that the Sap cant start because of natice sql client version.

I have set in place version 11, there is no version 12 from Micosoft.

But this is the error i get

Error: The driver release (11) is lower than the server release (12)

Do you know the work around for this.

Hi Vioar,

>>I have set in place version 11, there is no version 12 from Micosoft.

It will be in the DVD, under

<SQL4SAPDVD>\SqlNativeClient\<platform>\

Kindly follow the below notes:
