I know sql server developer edition cannot be used in production, such as storing production data (like business user data, or any data that is for business revenue purpose). But can I use sql server developer edition in the following ways?
I want to scan my network (including both production and non-production servers) to get the server information (ie. meta data), such as OS versions, disk size, sql instance versions, or even sql job execution stats. I use these info for analysis and capacity or upgrade planning purpose.
Of course, I have MSDN subscription (actually all my team has MSDN subscriptions), and we are the only team allowed to access this server where sql server developer edition (sql server 2019) is installed.
Is this allowed? or should I only scan non-production servers and exclude the production servers in the network before I can save these meta data into the database (on this sql developer edition instance)?
