 I want to install this on my test env at home but i dont have access to  en_sql_server_2012_enterprise_edition_x86_x64 without having a microsoft subscription which cost money.

Can I just use express edition for my test environment? Then use the same puppet code within my Org where they use enterprise edition?

I ask because I don't know enough about SQL and/or the differences between express and enterprise editions

I need to install SQL server
I need to setup multiple test instances
I need to install some features as well [Fulltext, SQLEngine, IS, MD5,SSMS] <-- don't know if these are even valid features , dont quote me
