About this question
I have SQL Server 2016 Developer Edition installed on Ubuntu, which is free for development purposes: SQL Server 2016 SP1 Developer is a fully-featured free edition licensed for use as a development and test database in a non-production environment. I wanted to install SQL Server 2017 on Ubuntu as well. For Windows, on the SQL Server download page, there are three options - a trial evaluation, SQL Express (free but limited), and SQL Developer (free for non-production environments). However, for Linux, there are just links for installing on Red Hat, Ubuntu, or SUSE.When installed on Ubuntu, SQL Server 2017 (v.Next) says: Enter the SQL Server system administrator password: Confirm the SQL Server system administrator password: Configuring SQL Server... This is an evaluation version. There are [174] days left in the evaluation period. Is there a SQL Server 2017 Developers Edition for Linux? If so, where do I go to access it?
Note: This isn't a question about licensing, per se; it's about whether a 2017 version of the product I'm already using is available.
