MicrosoftGo to, http://aka.ms/getsqlserver and chose, the option, "SQL Server 2025 Developer". If you want to install standard -Developer edition, make sure to chose the "Custom" or Download media" options after you launch the easy-install from, "SQL2025-SSEI-EntDev.exe" to later select the Standard developer edition in the Editions tab during the install. The Basic option always install Standrad -Enterprise edition.
Hi Venkata_Raj_Pochiraju​ , thanks for the reply. I checked that link (now), and like previously, I get this:
Which version is closest to SQL Server 2022 Developer (which I use now)? Standard or Enterprise Developer 2025?
MicrosoftAfter you download the above, click on SQL2025-SSEI-EntDev.exe, this will launch easy install with 3 options. 1. Basic, 2. Custom and 3. Download media. If you chose Basic, it does install "Enterprise Developer Edition". In If you want to install "Standard Developer", chose either custom or Download media so that you can be able to select the standard Developer in the Editions tab later in the install process. Hope that helps?
As per my image above, when I download the above, I get SQL2022-SSEI-Dev.exe, because as you can see in the red rectangle, the version on the website is still Sql Server 2022 Developer. The webpage hasn't been updated with the 2025 editions yet.
