thanks man for the clarification

sadly is that after I downgrade the SQl Server from 2008 R2 into 2008, the error still exist !where to look for detailed error message please ?

ok, so how about the error here:Error [ALC-LCM-130-100] on SQL Server DBdoes it means that SQL Server 2008 R2 cannot be installed or used with Live Cycle ES 2.5 ?

Hi All,I'm facing very strange problem with my current LiveCecle ES 2.5 deployed in the Windows Server 2008 in which i must use Websphere 6.1 as the Application server and then then Databse must be using SQL Server 2008 R2.see the following error message:If anyone here has ever done the installation...

is there any trial limitations ?

OK,does this means that if we want to collaborate the LCES with Sharepoint, the LCES 2.5 must be installed on Windows Server ?

Greetings Everyone,I'm having problem in configuring the Livecycle ES 2.5 in my Windows Server 2008 R2, the specification are as follows:LiveCycle ES 2.5 SP2 for WebsphereIBM Websphere 6.1 Fix Pack 33 64 bitSQL Server 2008 R2 Standard 64 bitI always end up getting this error:Validating datasource......

What is SA ? Software Assurance ?

does this means that i can / must install the ECM connector later on ?

I've reinstalled the application server from using Weblogic and now using Websphere it is still the same failed error message.Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.
