This download page needs to be updated for sql server 2022 and its variations, visual stuidio 2022 and its variations, SSMS v19, where the variations can be express, community to datacenter/enterprise. Probably other items on this webpage need updating too.

Aloha!
Is there a reason the SQL2016 Service Packs are omitted?

Hi Jesus, the trial versions allow you to use all features. The Standard edition is the same, but there are some limits of what can be used. Just read up on the differences so if you are developing for Standard you don't use features only in Enterprise version.

Hi there, is it possible to trial SQL Server 2019 Standard Edition?
I tried Developer and its Enterprise after completion, uninstalled it, and tried Evaluation, and it is also Enterprise.
I want to evaluate the Standard version, with all its limitations, so I can be certain that Standard is enough for my company or do we need Enterprise

What file i need to do this?
Thanks

Jorge,

I believe with SQL Server Web Edition, you would need to coordinate the installation and licensing payment directly with an approved Microsoft Hosting Company.
