Unable to reinstall MS SQL Server Management Studio
I am unable to run MS SQL Server Management Studio 2012 x64. I keep getting the message: "Invalid license data. Reinstall is required".
I am running the express edition - what license could be missing?
Anyway, I have tried to uninstall and reinstall only the Management Studio, but that did not work.
So, I uninstalled everything SQL Server related and tried to install everything again, but that didn't help either.
How can I solve this problem? (No, reinstalling the OS is not an option. ;-)
Note: In between uninstalling and installing, I have rebooted the system.
Note2: I could not find "MS SQL Server 2012" in the "Topics" section when entering this question. Who updates the options available?

Are you referring to "Management Tools"? I cannot find Data Tools anywhere.
If it is Management Tools, then I have already tried that.
This is SQL Server 2012 Express - maybe the name has changed?

This could have been solved sooner if I would have been more thorough when uninstalling SQL Server.
I may have been able to solve the problem using Pthepebble proposed solution, without uninstalling all the SQL Server software.
