SQL Server Editions
If your archived configuration does not include historical data, you can migrate a system using any SQL Server edition combination. However, if your archived configuration includes historical data, migrate a system using the following:
| Source SQL Server Edition | Target SQL Server Edition |
|---|---|
| Express | Express |
| Express | Standard |
| Standard | Standard |
NOTE: You cannot restore data or configuration from a newer version of SQL to an older version. For example, if the source system uses SQL Server 2016, you cannot restore the configuration to a target system using SQL Server 2012.
Localization
The Configuration Manager is available in English only; it cannot be localized into other languages.
