    Hi All
    I understand that developer edition is free to use. 
    For the purposes of training - Would developer edition be ok to use? 
    Would I be able to demonstrate basic SQL functionality, including high availability using developer edition?

    Thanks

    The Developer Edition has all the features of the Enterprise Edition, so you can use/test every SQL Server feature there is.

    If I understand the original question, the poster wants primarily to know if it can be used for training/demonstration purposes.  There was an aspect of showing High Availability, but that seemed ancillary to the primary question.  I'd be interested to know what other's take would be on "production uses."  If the demonstration is internal to a company, I'd expect that would be okay.  But if it's for paying students, that might be another matter.  I don't know, but would be interested in the answer.

    Per the licensing guidelines, as long as you're not hosting production data on it, you should be fine. No production data of any kind and you're within the use cases of the developer edition.

    Thanks all for the responses. 
    Just to clarify - It's for internal demonstration purposes for some junior DBA's within the company. 

    Thanks

    Consider having each of them install it on their desktops or laptops, depending on what they have.  It's an appropriate use for the Developer Edition.
