You downloaded the trial. You need to download the developer edition. The current version is 2022.

ms removed links to 2019, but if you need this version, I think this works

Good morning all,
I need to download SQL 2019 today in order to finish up an assignment.
I followed the resource my school gave me, but it says to put in a product key, but I'm not finding that anywhere. Do you know where it could be?
It was in the description when I downloaded Visio before, so I figured it would be the same.
Any help at all would be appreciated.
Thanks

In the SQL Server Developer Edition the product key is integrated in the installer = prepidded, no need to enter a product key.
If you have to enter, then you used the wrong product/installer, as Bruce wrote.
