Just got put in charge of a big web project. Second life 2 download. All I know is the web server is running MS SQL 2005, so I need something comparable to test locally. I figure developer edition is my best bet because it offers everything that the enterprise edition does, but is for development purposes only.

  • As far as I know, the only way for you to download the SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition ISO is having an active MSDN Subscription. Luigi Bruno MCP, MCTS, MOS, MTA.
  • Download the Express Edition of Microsoft SQL Server 2005. SQL Server Express is a powerful and reliable data management product that delivers rich features, data protection, and performance for embedded application clients, light Web applications, and local data stores.

Where do I actually download it? What about SQL 2005 Express? Would that meet my needs? I can't figure out all the differences between these stupid MS products.

As already pointed out, the developer edition is no longer available. See here for a brief overview of the differences between the different editions of SQL Server. SQL Server Express should be fine to get started with. If you have an MSDN subscription, you can just download the edition in-use on the web server.

I've only seen it on DVD as part of an MSDN subscription.. That may be the only way to get it.

Ms sql server 2005 developer edition free download

As far as I know, the developer edition of SQL Server is available to everyone. I cannot seem to locate the download anywhere though! I have a technet plus, but even there I don't see the developer edition. I need the developer edition for the enterprise-only features, or I'd use SQL Server Express.

Update 1. I am NOTlooking for SQL express.

Update 2. I have tried Google (extensively)

There is no special licencing (like Academic) to buy Developer edition. The only difference is that the EULA licence included states you cannot use the software for production environments (only for testing/development).

Want to buy it?

Microsoft Store ($49.95, same price as Amazon used to sell 2005 Developer for)

Edit: Just to clarify, Developer Edition is not a free product. Some of the MSDN subscriptions (which cost far more then $49.95) include it as a perk, but it is still a shrink wrapped retail product as far as Microsoft is concerned.

You definitely get developer edition via microsoft's MSDNAA academic program.

Developer edition is essentially the enterprise edition with license restrictions.

Use enterprise edition then.

If you have no license for enterprise edition, you will anyway not be able to use in production whatever you come up with in developer edition.

If you don't care about licenses, you can probably download it from anywhere you find. But then google is a better place to ask than SO community.

EDIT: You cannot legally get either developer of enterprise edition for free. If your customer does not give you a license, and if you don't buy one yourself, you have no legal options to perform this job.

While this isn't really programming related, I'll answer anyway.

The developer edition is not, in fact, available to everyone. To the best of my knowledge, the only way to obtain it is via an MSDN subscription (not TechNet, I don't think; sorry!) that includes server software (so something above the 'Operating Systems' subscription level).

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that your need for the enterprise only features is for a development environment and that the deployment environment has a valid license for the enterprise edition. If that's the case, then you'll have to obtain an MSDN subscription.

Out of curiousity, what 'enterprise only' features are you planning on using? In my experience, a fairly small percentage of developers actually need anything above the functionality offered in the Standard edition.
