We have a cluster of 5 node. Since datastax community edition doesn't offer reliable technical support, we are planning to purchase datastax enterprise.
I would like to know cost of the datastax enterprise license per node.

I attempted to change a SQL Server 2019 Enterprise edition to developer edition and it says it not allowed.
enter image description here
I think you are asking if there's a way to do the edition change despite the message? In this case, it's not supported. I likely would build a new server and do a migration if this had to be done.
The "one-way" migration path is not uncommon in version and edition upgrades. Here is a link to the supported upgrade matrix.

Can a developer edition be in production or an enterprise edition in development by accident? Sure. If you have paid for a Enterprise license for a DEV edition production server, then you are likely good. If you have MSDN, then you are okay for non-production use of non-DEV editions.
I never base our licensing on just the edition. I seem to remember reading in a licensing whitepaper from Microsoft that the edition was not important, but the use was. For example, a test setup using STD and ENT editions via MSDN was fine. If any of it was production, then MSDN is not fine.
All the gory details:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/Licensing/product-licensing/sql-server
https://download.microsoft.com/download/e/2/9/e29a9331-965d-4faa-bd2e-7c1db7cd8348/SQL_Server_2019_Licensing_guide.pdf
https://www.visualstudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Visual-Studio-2017-Licensing-Whitepaper-March-2017.pdf
In the the last link "What Software is Included and Downgrade Rights" clearly indicates you can use any STD and ENT versions for non-production using MSDN. This is why you can't use edition alone to determine licensing. However, all those accessing the MSDN licensed servers must have MSDN with the exception of UAT. A client testing the app would not need a MSDN license. If anybody does not have MSDN, then a production license is required. This is a where a DEV edition can be costly with an ENT license when a STD edition would have been used otherwise.
i already downloaded symmetric-3.5.19-server.zip for community edition
after i following this step http://www.symmetricds.org/doc/3.5/html-single/user-guide.html#tutorial-install
and finished it, it showing a message Missing license key. Please install a license key before using the web console.
is the community edition require to buy a license?
SymmetricDS community edition will not ask for license,you are actually using SymmetricDS Pro edition which you can acquired trial 30 days license key from here. you have to provide your email for them to give you license key.
the actual symmetricds community edition is like what Austin Brougher have provide at his link.
The community edition found on symmetricds.org does not have a web console. You must have the Pro version which can be found at jumpmind.com.
You can get the latest open source version here.

I need to know whether we can use oracle adf with free of cost.
i found some other sites they are saying ADF Essential is free ware.
If it is licensed by oracle , How much the license cost?
ADF essentials is license free, running on glassfish, here.
From the main oracle page:
Oracle ADF Essentials is an end-to-end Java EE framework that
simplifies application development by providing out-of-the-box
infrastructure services and a visual and declarative development
experience. Oracle ADF Essentials is free to develop and deploy.
And further, from the FAQ:
Oracle ADF Essentials is a free packaging of key technologies from the
Oracle Application Development Framework that can be used to develop
and deploy applications without licensing costs.
Not to be snarky, but what part of Free and without licensing is unclear?
DO these versions mean anything to me as a developer? I understand they have limitations on connections/processors/etc but none of that matters to me for a local development instance. All of the ISOs on MSDN are the same size, does it make a difference which of these I choose to download?
The Developer edition is identical to the Enterprise edition, so you get all the feature you'll probably ever need. It's just not licensed for production use.
Standard edition (and Web edition) are somewhat limited in their functionality.
Developer Edition for 2014 and 2016 is available at no cost, so I'd definitely pick that one, if you need a dev platform!
The difference is in licensing mostly (Developer vs. Enterprise).
For development you wish to have the engine with all bells and whistles enabled, that is either Enterprise or Developer.
If you're only developing for customers then Developer will suffice. You hand-over the project to the customer and don't put it to operation yourself.
If it's your own product, then you will need un-Developer version sooner or later. By the moment of putting the software in production latest, that is.
Developer is fine for development but can't be used in production systems for lisencing reasons. It's a lot cheaper than the others too.
Use the development version as it will allow you to develop with features that are available on all of the production versions. If you were to install say just the Standard version then you would be unable to develop anything that uses an Enterprise feature.

As of today Developer Edition is free of cost.Further you can sign into Visual studio dev essentials and get for free VS community Edition,Microsoft R server Developer edition,Free xamarin,free 25$ monthly Azure credit and much more for free...

As far as I know, the developer edition of SQL Server is available to everyone. I cannot seem to locate the download anywhere though! I have a technet plus, but even there I don't see the developer edition. I need the developer edition for the enterprise-only features, or I'd use SQL Server Express.
Update 1. I am NOTlooking for SQL express.
Update 2. I have tried Google (extensively)
There is no special licencing (like Academic) to buy Developer edition. The only difference is that the EULA licence included states you cannot use the software for production environments (only for testing/development).
Want to buy it?
Microsoft Store ($49.95, same price as Amazon used to sell 2005 Developer for)
Edit: Just to clarify, Developer Edition is not a free product. Some of the MSDN subscriptions (which cost far more then $49.95) include it as a perk, but it is still a shrink wrapped retail product as far as Microsoft is concerned.
Try this: https://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2008/en/us/developer.aspx

While this isn't really programming related, I'll answer anyway.
The developer edition is not, in fact, available to everyone. To the best of my knowledge, the only way to obtain it is via an MSDN subscription (not TechNet, I don't think; sorry!) that includes server software (so something above the "Operating Systems" subscription level).
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that your need for the enterprise only features is for a development environment and that the deployment environment has a valid license for the enterprise edition. If that's the case, then you'll have to obtain an MSDN subscription.
Out of curiousity, what "enterprise only" features are you planning on using? In my experience, a fairly small percentage of developers actually need anything above the functionality offered in the Standard edition.
You definitely get developer edition via microsoft's MSDNAA academic program.
Developer edition is essentially the enterprise edition with license restrictions.
Use enterprise edition then.
If you have no license for enterprise edition, you will anyway not be able to use in production whatever you come up with in developer edition.
If you don't care about licenses, you can probably download it from anywhere you find. But then google is a better place to ask than SO community.
EDIT: You cannot legally get either developer of enterprise edition for free. If your customer does not give you a license, and if you don't buy one yourself, you have no legal options to perform this job.
