Shall I need pay for SQL Server express?

Question

Hello, ALL

I plan to use SQL Server express in one of my embedded products and sell it to the end customers.

Shall I need pay for SQL Server express before I sell my embedded product?

Answer 1

Hi.

You dont need to pay for SQL Express. Just make sure your application are fully supported on SQL before distribution.

Hi Penn,

 

SQL Server Express is a completely free edition of SQL Server that is ideal for learning and building desktop and small server applications, and for redistribution by ISVs. So we do not need to pay any charges.
