I yield to the other DBAs here. I consider SQL Server a read-only product to migration to other databases. My DBA experience is a decade out of date.
I thought there was discussion here on a FREE developer edition, but now I can't locate that thread. $49 seems like a reasonable deal. I would expect a later db to read a dump from an earlier one, but don't expect you can dump this into an earlier edition. I have done it, by generating SQL Scripts, targeting early versions, but there's no guarantee that will work.
