If you go to this URL, you will see this screen:Ĭlick Join Now, and you'll be offered three options: to sign in with your work or school account (you may already have access to Visual Studio Dev Essentials), to sign in with your Microsoft account (hotmail/outlook), or to create a new Microsoft account (which you can do if you just want to create a throwaway account for this): But read on, as there is a fourth option that might be more palatable. This isn't a bad thing, IMHO you and I have both given up our e-mail addresses in exchange for things far less valuable than a used-to-be-$49-or-$59 piece of software.
The three supported methods I know of to obtain SQL Server 2016 Developer Edition all involve either registering or paying. The simple answer is no - there is no free lunch. More specifically, where to get it with no strings attached, including questions like, "Can I just buy it so I don't have to sign up for ?"
