 There is no need for an expensive license, the Express edition which is freely available will work fine for most small countries. If you don't have already a commercial license download the free version [[https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29062|MS SQL Server Express]].

Double click and follow through the installation. Choosing the default values is a good start and reboot the system when done.
