Check SQL Server edition

Posted on 25-Jul-202525-Jul-2025 By Admin No Comments on Check SQL Server edition

To check whether you are using SQL Server Standard, Enterprise, or another edition, you can use one of the following methods:


1. Using SQL Query (Recommended)

Run this SQL query in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS):

SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('Edition') AS Edition;

Example Output:

  • Enterprise Edition (64-bit)
  • Standard Edition (64-bit)
  • Express Edition (64-bit)

2. Using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)

  1. Open SSMS and connect to your SQL Server instance.
  2. In Object Explorer, right-click the server name and select Properties.
  3. In the General tab, look for “Product” or “Edition”.

3. Using Command Prompt

Run this command in Command Prompt (if sqlcmd is installed):

sqlcmd -S <server_name> -E -Q "SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('Edition')"

Example Output:

Enterprise Edition (64-bit)

4. Checking Installed Editions via Registry (Windows)

If you want to check all installed SQL Server instances:

  1. Open Registry Editor (Win + R, type regedit, press Enter).
  2. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\Instance Names\SQL
  3. Find your SQL Server instance and then check its edition under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\<InstanceID>\Setup Look for “Edition” or “EditionID”.
