We are setting up demo system for showing demo of our product. We are planning to use SQL developer version just to show demo. Is that ok to use developer version of SQL in our demo environment. definitely this is not our production environment. Please suggest

    Yes it is allowed as per the license agreement as discussed here. Specifically it can be used for "design, develop, test and demonstrate your programs."

    Hi @SHIVANNA, MAHESHWARA (GE Digital) ,

    Yes, you can.
    SQL Server Developer edition lets developers build any kind of application on top of SQL Server. It includes all the functionality of Enterprise edition, but is licensed for use as a development and test system, not as a production server. SQL Server Developer is an ideal choice for people who build and test applications.
    For more differences between editions, please see:
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/sql-server/editions-and-components-of-sql-server-version-15?view=sql-server-ver15

    Best regards,
    Seeya
