Significant because it allows customers to run the software on multiple devices (for testing purposes, for example) without having to license each non-production server system. Customers may install and run the SQL Server Developer Edition software on any number of devices. Any test data that was used for design, development or test purposes must be removed prior to deploying the software for production use. SQL Server Developer Edition may not be used in a production environment. SQL Server 2019 Developer Edition is a fully featured version of SQL Server software-including all the features and capabilities of Enterprise Edition-licensed for development, test and demonstration purposes only. Microsoft offers multiple, costeffective options for licensing SQL Server 2019 software for use in non-production environments. As such, licensing a development and test environment can be expensive and challenging to manage as new servers are set up and others are torn down. I already said you should pursue and MSDN, and here's the current licensing document and then this one for SQL server (notice that I just googled these things so you could too in the future now that you know how to find something about them)įrom that second link: Licensing SQL Server for non-production useĬustomers are required to license every Microsoft software product they install, configure, and use, including all physical and virtual instances.
Okay, so let's focus on the meat and potatoes of your request, now that we've gotten out of the way about "this isn't really a good question" because you're not the first person confused about this. But if you're running any sort of for-profit organization, spend the few dollars to get help. If you're a non-profit plenty of folks out there can help, toss something on twitter with #sqlhelp and I bet you can get some help. We can't honestly tell every visitor exactly how to license their business and what every single visitor's needs are this is the sort of thing to spend a few dollars on. Ostensibly you should have some sort of MSDN license for your organization, so that's a good thing to hire a consultant for understanding.
One thing you're missing is what version of SQL you think you should be running this on, and what licensing you're already privy to. here's a good resource for knowing what sort of things we're good at answering here and on SO.Īll that being said, there's always room for real-world explanations of "how does this actually work" and I'm always happy to help people who just don't understand the larger world of licensing and such. It's not good for StackOverflow for the same reason. It's a little vague still, and it's gonna be outdated before a while. This question isn't particularly suited for the dba.se site, for a couple of reasons.
