    Express is not time-limited. It's size-limited. Max 10GB per database, restricted to a single CPU core and 1GB of memory and with many, many unavailable features.

    Personally I wouldn't consider developing on Express if production is Enterprise or over 10GB in size, too many things won't be available, it'll also be near-impossible to do sensible performance testing.
