Error: The setting 'IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS' specified is not recognized; in SQL SERVER 2008




Installing SQL SERVER with configuration file some time comes with different errors like one below. I was installing SQL server 2008 enterprise edition and face below issues.

ERROR: "The setting 'IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS' specified is not recognized"

I was using in command prompt > setup.exe /CofigurationFile=D:\saurabh\ConfigurationFile.ini /QUIET="TRUE" /IAcceptSQLServerLicenceTerms /SAPWD="saurabh"



Below is configuration file option:

Resolution: The flag “/IAcceptSQLServerLicenseTerms” was added in SQL Server 2008 R2, and does not exist in SQL Server 2008.

So  no need to pass “/IAcceptSQLServerLicenseTerms” if you are using SQL Server 2008.
