Sql-server – “SSIS Evaluation Period Has Expired” on Dev Instance

sql serversql-server-2016ssistroubleshooting

I recently started receiving the following error on a dev server. At one point SQL Server 2016 CTP was installed here but we've upgraded since then. I've tried uninstalling / reinstalling SSIS as well as repairing it. Reboots occurred along the way. For the life of me I can't figure out why this error persists.

I've verified that the DTExec.exe is located where SQL Server expects it to be, using:

SELECT * FROM msdb.dbo.syssubsystems

…and that it's not referencing some other version of DTExec.exe previously installed on the server.

Is there anything else I can attempt to clear this alleged evaluation period?

The rest of the instance is fine. It is only SSIS that is producing the "evaluation period expired" error message.

Maybe someone have accidentally used an Evaluation Edition to set up SSIS? Perhaps, but you'd think an uninstall and subsequent reinstall (using a dev edition install kit) of the service would correct that problem if that were the case.

Run regedit and change the value of CommonFiles REG_DWORD under:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\130\ConfigurationState

...from 1 to 3.

Run the Edition Upgrade and this will "upgrade" the components.

If that doesn't resolve the issue, then we need to make sure the client components are on the same service pack/build version as SQL Server. If you have applied SP1 to SQL Server, check and make sure SP1 successfully installed on the client components as well. Looking at your setup bootstrap logs will help determine that.
