Which edition should you use?
The Express Edition is a no-charge edition. You can use it for Labs 1, 2 and 3 (the Express Edition does not include the SQL Server Agent, which is used in Lab 2). The Express Edition does not have an expiration date.

The Evaluation Edition includes all features of SQL Server, and can be used for Labs 1 - 5. It includes the SQL Server Agent. The Evaluation Edition expires 180 days after you install it.

If you want to, you can install and use the Express Edition to get started, then install the Evaluation Edition to perform the work in Labs 4 and 5. You can install both editions of SQL Server on your PC at the same time.
