Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Edition

SQL Server 2016 is available in an Evaluation edition for a 180-day trial period. For more information, see the SQL Server 2016 Official page.

  • SQL Server 2016 Enterprise Edition - Core licensing only
  • SQL Server 2016 Standard Edition - Core or Server + CAL (Client Access License) licensing
  • SQL Server 2016 Express Edition - Free
  • SQL Server 2016 Developer Edition - Free
  • SQL Server 2016 Evaluation Edition - 180 day trial

The Developer edition has the same feature set as the Enterprise edition. It is completely free and can be run on any number of devices, but it cannot be used for production workloads. You can get it at SQL Server 2016 Developer edition. In contrast, the SQL Server 2016 Express editions can be used for production workloads, but they are limited to a single CPU and four cores, 1 GB of RAM (4 GB for the SQL Server 2016 Express with Advanced Services for Reporting Services). There is also a 10 GB per databases limitation.
