Customers considering allowing an MSDN subscription to expire should claim product keys and download software that is likely to be reinstalled or otherwise required in the future. A potentially confusing issue, and license compliance risk, is that the SQL Server Developer edition can refer to a license as well as software.
Customers may find that volume licenses, Windows Azure services, or free editions will suffice for certain scenarios in the development and test environment, and may cut down on costs. Extra planning is often required, however, to mitigate compliance risks and work with any limitations of the software. For some customers, in certain scenarios, using SQL Server production licenses for development and test can be cost advantageous, although license prerequisites such as Windows Server remain.
Purchasing new production licenses may be less expensive than developer-specific licensing. Customers might also consider per-core licensing if costs are lower than buying MSDN subscriptions, or where mixing development and production environments would become burdensome to manage. Customers using SQL Server Enterprise edition core licenses with SA have unlimited virtualization rights and may have the additional capacity to support a development environment.
Windows Azure and other cloud-based services may also be attractive since they are usually based on a monthly subscription model with pricing determined by database size and services used. Using such services may be more cost effective than buying on-premises software or MSDN subscriptions.
Customers may want to calculate spending break-even points between Windows Azure for production and the Windows Azure MSDN benefit, which is only for nonproduction, based on use case scenarios.
Some customers may want to start developing with SQL Server Express to see if it will suffice for a given application and move to fee-based editions only when requirements cannot be met using the free edition.
Often used for small applications, hardware and software limitations need to be considered prior to development. NET desktop applications. Developers can deploy applications using SQL Server Compact internally and with third-party website hosting providers. As an embedded database for applications, however, SQL Server Compact is not intended for general database use as with other editions. The SQL Server licensing guide is at download. SQL Server features by edition are detailed at msdn.
SQL Server Evaluation software can be downloaded from www. Cosmos DB reserved capacity discounts the compute costs of any deployment of the Azure multi-model database service, in exchange for a one- or three-year commitment. Skip to main content. Production and Nonproduction Licensed Differently Customers must license every SQL Server in use, which generally means purchasing licenses for server installs and client access, but in some instances it simply means accepting terms and conditions.
Did the reply could help you? If the response helped, do "Accept Answer". This is allowed, if you limit your activities to testing you can restore prod database backup on DEV edition. If it is possible can you please share the licensing guide which has this statement mentioned in it. Attaching SQL Server licensing data sheet. Quoting from the sheet. SQL Server Developer Edition provides a fully featured version of SQL Server software—including all of the features and capabilities of Enterprise Edition—licensed for development, test and demonstration purposes only.
A production environment is defined as an environment that is accessed by end-users of an application such as an Internet website and that is used for more than gathering feedback or acceptance testing of that application. There is one more detailed licensing guide which says. Any test data that was used for design, development, or test purposes must be removed prior to deploying the software for production use.
So make note of this also. This basically means that you can do testing on dev edition but cannot consider it as stage database or staging environment and take backup of it and restore it on production. In that case you may be violating license. Testing as I said is allowed. Can we use them in a training environment where the trainees learn how to handle and manage the database and the solution access the database.
It's a training environment with no productive data. After the training all data will be removed. Hi MichaelKurz ,. Submit and view feedback for This product This page. View all page feedback.
