Hi,
I know you can't do a direct upgrade from 2008 to 2016 so it will be a step upgrade via 2012. However do i need to purchase a full version of 2012 for the sake of a couple hours or can i use the Trail Version of 2012 to get me to that step then upgrade to 2016 with my "retail" version and key?
It needs to be an in-place upgrade as we don't have any other hardware to migrate back and forward from.
Many Thanks for any advice
