ditto. you would think its something that should be simple but MS decides to make it harder. 🙂 same goes for edition downgrade. edition upgrade is a few clicks. edition downgrade is short of reinstalling the instance and putting back master, model, msdb. good luck 🙂
Are there software installs, especially something as absolutely huge as SQL Server, that easily let you downgrade? I don't mean Excel, I mean, Oracle or similar? I'm not aware of any. It's not usually an encouraged path for technical reasons, let alone monetary ones.

anyway, agree there isn't much any other software. Just musings of mine.
