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.
I have to test a security patch on the following SQL server. But I do not get the link to download it. Please help me with the link to download it:
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 – 11.0.5058.0 (X64) May 14 2014 18:34:29
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation Standard Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.3 <X64> (Build 9600: )
Direct link for downloading SQL Server 2019: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/download-sql-server-2019
Aloha!
Is there a reason the SQL2016 Service Packs are omitted?
This is a really great effort and a great resource for SQL Server.
Hello, I just wanna ask… where can I find SQL Server 2017 Setup password?
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

I need to install sql server 2019 standart editions
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.
