问题
I just installed SQL 2016 Standard Edition because I wanted to use the 'Always Encrypted' feature. However, when I tried to created a Column Master Key under Security->Always Encrypted Keys->Column Master Key, I got the following error:
productversion: 13.0.160.5, productlevel:RTM, edition:Standard Edition 64bit Any ideas? Thanks!

I was having the same issue. I fixed it by updating to Sql Server 2016 SP1 from Sql Server 2016.
Previously @@version was:
- Microsoft SQL Server 2016 (RTM-GDR) (KB3194716) - 13.0.1722.0 (X64) Sep 26 2016 13:17:23 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation Standard Edition (64-bit) on Windows 10 Pro 6.3 (Build 14393: )
Now @@version is:
- Microsoft SQL Server 2016 (SP1) (KB3182545) - 13.0.4001.0 (X64) Oct 28 2016 18:17:30 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation Standard Edition (64-bit) on Windows 10 Pro 6.3 (Build 14393: )
Note also that my SSMS is totally up to date.
- Tools > Check for Updates > Details - 13.0.16100.1
- A coworker has a slightly older build of SSMS and does not even see the option to encrypt columns.

The issue was probably caused by restoring a SQL2014 database. I backed up a 2014 database and then restored it in 2016. SQL may have seen it as a 2014 schema and therefore complained Column Master Key not supported. How I resolved it: In SSMS 2016, generate .sql script for the imported database (in Advanced settings, choose SQL 2016 script) Install a new SQL 2016 instance (which may not be necessary will test) and run the .sql generated, rather than the restore option

"Always Encrypted is available in SQL Server 2016 (13.x) and SQL Database. (Prior to SQL Server 2016 (13.x) SP1, Always Encrypted was limited to the Enterprise Edition.)"
