I have been asked if it is OK to change the edition on this server from Enterprise to Developer.   

Ok?

 

United - Basic LSAP  -- Current

Rio Upgrade in a few months, hopefully sooner

This is more a Question of Microsoft licensing.  The MS SQL Developer is not licensed for a production environment (see Editions and supported features of SQL Server 2017), so while it would work, it would be outside of the MS licensing agreement for the product.

While I was looking into SQL Developer limitations, I ran into a couple of interesting blog posts on other considerations beyond licensing that you might be interested in:

There is no SQL Server Express edition for 2019.  Are there any plans for allowing the Laserfiche Avante for Express to also work with the 2019 Developer's edition?
