Hi,

I have installed SQL 2022 (elv vesrion) on a new server.
I'm planning to decommission the old server. Before I do that, I need to transfer the license.
So, SQL 2019 to SQL 20220 STD

What is the best way I can have this done?

Thanks in advance

    You have SQL Server licenses only on paper, no where in the system, so nothing to transfer.
