Error Message
Defect Number
Enhancement Number
Cause
When troubleshooting issues which occur through SQL Server Linked Server, it is always ideal to bypass Linked Server and connect directly to the database and execute a query. Connect directly to Salesforce using the ODBCTest tool or example sample application.

In this case the driver was installed with an evaluation license and that license had expired. The expired licensed message is not propagated back to the end user through SQL Server Linked Server. Using ODBCTest or example the error message was displayed to the end user.
Resolution
Re-install the driver with a valid license or upgrade the license with a valid license to resolve this issue.
