2022-04-19T20:06:09.62+00:00 The latest version of SQL Server Dev edition can be downloaded for free here. You do not need a subscription for it. Note that it is only for development/test.
If you have a subscription then you can get to the Dev edition by using the
Downloads
link at the top and then searching for SQL Server. -
