I followed the steps on the Microsoft website to install SQL Server 2022 on Ubuntu Server. After I entered the command on step 4 of the instructions to enter the setup wizard, I selected the Enterprise edition when prompted to select an edition, but it didn't prompt me to enter a product key. Where I am supposed to put in my SQL Server Enterprise product key to activate the software? Is it even necessary to enter the key? Thanks!

1It doesn’t appear you’re supposed to literally enter a product key. You just need a license but sudo /opt/mssql/bin/mssql-conf setup would have been the step that allowed you enter it – Ramhound Mar 24 '23 at 10:27

So, is it an honours system with no "activation" required? – Felix An Mar 25 '23 at 00:47

OK, I will answer my own question. Thanks for the help! – Felix An Mar 25 '23 at 06:54

No activation is required on the Linux version of SQL Server, but to use it "legally", you must own a licence to use the version of SQL Server that you selected during the initial setup.
