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 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 recently purchased a SQL Server 2019 Standard Edition - Server/CAL license which I want to use to upgrade my current installation of SQL Server 2019 Express on a CentOS 7 system.
According to the FAQ I just need to re-run the mssql-conf configuration script and change the edition to Standard. It says the setup won't ask me for the license, but how does it validates I do indeed have a legit installation?
EDIT:
Answer below. Now, as a side note, next time if possible I'd like to get feedback on why am I getting minus points since it would help clarify what is wrong with my post.
I reached out to Microsoft and I was told the CAL license works differently from a retail license in which the first one doesn't needs to be entered for the product to be considered valid. In case I get audited by Microsoft, I just need to show them my access to the VLSC as proof of ownership.
I had installed UiPath trial version previously, and uninstalled it when the license expired. As I use this machine for testing, I wanted to install UiPath community edition. I downloaded it and installed. When I fire it up, it still says the license status is: Server license expired. How do I get community edition running.
The link to renew the community edition for UiPath Studio, which should also work for activating after the trial as expired, is: Community Edition Renewal - UiPath Studio
UiPath are quite sneaky in the fact that they don't tell you that you have to go to their renewal site in order to renew the community license
About the problem
UiPath do not allow users to switch from an Enterprise license to a Community Edition (CE) license, even after the trial has expired, without first contacting support. After you activate a device with an Enterprise license you are not permitted to use CE on the same device. It's not an error and it is actually the expected behaviour. When you activate Enterprise edition your device key is registered in the UiPath database, which prevents you from registering a CE license.
If you are experiencing this problem, it is likely that you have received the following output:
Activation failed with error: 0
Error description: Cannot use Community Edition on this machine after activating a trial or Enterprise license code. Please enter a valid license key.
License status: Device ID already activated
Official solution
UiPath state that only in special situations may the trial license be extended or the Device ID released from their licensing. They recommend you contact their support team to enquire about disabling the Enterprise license and you can do this here.
A more useful workaround!!!
However, there is another way that does not require you to contact support. This workaround involves using Orchestrator as the licensing server. Here is what you can do to begin using CE:
Install UiPath Community Edition
Connect Studio (the Robot in user-mode that comes with Studio) to Orchestrator Community Edition: https://platform.uipath.com/ as Development Robot
Studio will get its license through Orchestrator (since 2018.4 version)
Here are some additional resources that may be of use:
Community Edition license agreement
UiPath Trial Agreement
use 2021.4.4 version
Based on the connection type (machine key / service URL) you can connect both community / enterprise edition.
No need to get two different installation one for community another for enterprise.
This problem has been fixed with 2021.4.4
UiPath Assistance will help you to connect through your personal Orchestrator for community or organizational orchestrator for enterprise.
I currently have a website in DNN Community Edition (version 7.3.2). I need to upgrade the website to enterprise edition. I have tried searching (read Googling) for the steps and protocols to be followed to achieve this. However, all search results, blogs and online documentation I have encountered so far seem to be pertaining to upgrading Community Edition (CE) to Professional Edition (PE) or Professional Edition (PE) to Enterprise Edition (EE). Based on my understanding, I get the feeling that I have to upgrade to Professional Edition in order to be able to upgrade to Enterprise Edition (EE).
So can anybody tell me is it possible to upgrade Community edition to Enterprise Edition straightaway OR do I have to go through the installation of Professional edition?
You will simply perform the same steps as you would to upgrade to PE. No need to upgrade to PE then EE.
Backup everything (files/database)
Download the EE Upgrade package
Extract the EE Upgrade package (make sure to unblock the ZIP if you're using Windows Compression to extract)
Copy the files from the UPGRADE extraction over your existing CE location.
Side note: Probably too late, but do you really need Enterprise Edition?
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.
