SQL Server Express edition is the entry-level, free database and is ideal for learning and building desktop and small server data-driven applications. It is the best choice for independent software vendors, developers, and hobbyists building client applications.
For more details, you can refer to this link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/sql-server/editions-and-components-of-sql-server-2022?view=sql-server-ver16.
Best regards,
Aniya

Nguyen Duc Tai 20 Reputation points2023-12-02T08:33:30.1733333+00:00 Sorry, I haven't seen confirmation that Microsoft SQL Server Express edition is available for commercial use?
I develop web applications for enterprise, my enterprise uses Microsoft SQL Server Express 2008 R2 version, do I need to purchase a license? And if I have 3 clients connecting to SQL Server Express 2008, do I have to buy a CAL license? Thank you.
