Restore error - exceed limit of 10240mb

    Hi,

    I recently backed up my sql server express db to a 77mb bak file. I then uninstalled the instance and reinstalled the instance. I then tried to restore the bak file to the new sql server express. It gives me the error that

    system.data.sqlClient.SqlError: CREATE DATABASE or ALTER DATABASE failed because the resulting cumulative database size would exceed your licensed limit of 10240 MB Per database.

    How is this even possible? It was running before with no problem on the same version of sql express.

    thanks

    Jason
