I am a student. I've installed SQL2019-SSEI-Dev and would like to use the Enterprise Key I have in my possession. I have also installed SSMS. The installs are fresh - no data needs to be migrated - I am at a fresh blank slate. Thank you ahead of time for any clarification.
Hi @Adam Pastor ，

This is the answer I was looking for. Exactly. Thank you for working through my layman problem set on how to fix it.
Under the assumption you have a genuine Key for the Enterprise edition of SQL Server 2019 , you can read through 1
and run the System configuration checker from Planning section before proceeding with actual installation, to get a detailed report of the overall system compatibility.
It was a valid key. Thank goodness. Thank you for your help to us new to SQL.
