Me personally, I can’t afford that and it’s irrelevant to my testing, so I’m going to uncheck that and click Next. They want you to pay ongoing fees to use Azure services to manage your SQL Servers, regardless of where they live. When you hit Next, you get the first new screen:Īs strange as it may seem, Microsoft is on a mission to get even more money out of you than just the SQL Server licensing costs.

If you plan to test apps hitting this server, make a note that you’ll need to change the Windows Firewall settings later – but you can ignore this for now during setup, and circle back to it later. If you click the Warning link, you’ll get instructions to set up an exclusion rule to let SQL Server traffic pass through the firewall. In my case, the Windows Firewall warning is because Windows Firewall is enabled. Otherwise, they’d go bankrupt from KB4538581 alone.Īccept the terms, and hit Next, and the installer will do some basic validation to make sure the VM is in a safe place: The most they can get back from Fiverr for a refund is the $5 they spent on the contractor, so they gotta cap their losses. The $5 limit is because starting with SQL Server 2022, Microsoft is using Fiverr for development, testing, and support. Let’s not pretend you’re going to read that, but I’ll point out one amusing section: Express Edition – only for tiny databases.Ĭhoose your character – I’m going with Developer – and then hit next.You wanna choose Developer because your evaluation period is probably going to extend beyond 180 days, and you don’t wanna have to worry about time bombs. Frankly, you’d be suicidal to use Evaluation Edition for production purposes too, since it has that time bomb.

(Most of the rest are just hyperlinks to go download other things that aren’t included in the SQL Server installer.) When you run it, the Installation Center opens:Īnd for a standalone evaluation/development server, click the first line for a new standalone installation. When the Windows VM is ready, download the installer here. Pre-release bits (and even release bits!) can cause side-by-side existence problems that you don’t want to have to waste time troubleshooting.

Never install test/evaluation bits on your laptop or an existing SQL Server – it’s a recipe for trouble. Start with a fresh, empty Windows VM for testing. The first release candidate for Microsoft SQL Server 2022 is out, so let’s see what’s involved with installing it. (Which is cool! Change = risk.) In that case, I’d think about using SQL Server 2022 to get the longest lifespan you can out of your SQL Servers.
#Visual studio 2022 release candidate upgrade
I’ve got a post on which SQL Server version you should use, but if you’re just now starting a 2014 replacement plan, then you’re the kind of shop that doesn’t upgrade very often. With that in mind, if you’re still running SQL Server 2014 today in production, now is the time to start moving your development servers over to the newer SQL Server version.
