SQL Server 2017 Express Edition – Always Encrypted

always-encryptedexpress-editionsql-server-2017

I am so tentative to decide to use Always Encrypted tool, however I have a question → I'm working on a project with SQL Server 2017 – 14 Express Edition.

And I'm pretty sure they aren't going to buy the Enterprise Edition.

Even so, Can I use this tool? Or is there any limitation related to the final version of SQL? I didn't find any limitation at the official documentation from Microsoft

Thanks a lot.
