This is one of the installs listed for ArcGIS 10.4.1. I already have database server connections set up in Catalog. Is there a reason I should install this?
Database Server for Desktop is the new name for "ArcSDE Personal". It comes free with ArcGIS Desktop.
The link that George provided should give you more details.
I think you are looking at this.... Database servers—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop
This is a completely separate product that is not required to use ArcGIS for Desktop. I would not use it unless needed, too many limitations in my opinion.
Here is more details on database servers: Types of geodatabases—ArcGIS Help | ArcGIS for Desktop - Look at the section - How is ArcSDE technology included in ArcGIS?
Geodatabase
Hope this helps!
Existing ArcGIS for Desktop users—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop says yes for license manager but remains silent (probably meaning yes) for the others.
