Hi all,I have a question about SQL Server Developer Edition, more specifically this line:"SQL Server Developer Edition is for development and testing only, and not for production environments or for use with production data."My question isn't around the production environments part but the production data part.As an example say we have a typical use case, a Production server fully licensed for 2016 Enterprise and a Dev server which is used for genuine development (not to test restores or running dbcc against). The Dev environment would get the databases from the production server restored from time to time to do Dev and Test work against.Am I interpreting that right in that restoring a backup from Prod to Dev is "production data" and as such isnt a Dev server? Or is it that once the data is on Dev, its Dev data now and can be used to develop against. I hope I am reading the former wrong as it seems strange to me.Any thoughts on this?Cheers.EDIT - Interesting that the licensing PDF on the site words it slightly differently."SQL Server Developer Edition may not be used in a production environment or with product data."
