Activating SQL Multi Script

When you download a Red Gate Software product, you have a 14 day trial period in which you can evaluate the product. When your trial period expires, you are invited to purchase the product. If you need more time to evaluate the product, contact licensing@red-gate.com

When you purchase the product, you are sent an invoice that contains your serial number. You use the serial number to activate the product. If you cannot find your invoice, you can review your serial numbers at http://www.red-gate.com/myserialnumbers. Note that if you purchased a bundle of products, this serial number activates all of the products in the bundle.

When you activate the product, the activation program sends an activation request to the Red Gate activation server, using checksums of attributes from your computer. The checksums that are sent to the activation server do not contain any details that might pose a security risk.

You can activate ANTS Profiler by Internet, by email, or by using manual activation.

Activating by Internet

When you activate by Internet, the Red Gate activation server is contacted and returns an activation response and an encrypted key to unlock the software. Note that you should receive the activation response within a few minutes of sending your request.

If you are experiencing problems when you activate by Internet, try manual activation.

Activating by email

When you activate by email, you must copy all of the activation request provided in the product activation dialog box. Send it in a plain text email to activation@red-gate.com; if you use a format other than plain text for your email, activation may fail. Alternatively, you can copy the activation request, save it to a text file, and attach the file to the email.

Do not send multiple requests for activation in the same email, as activation will fail.

You should receive an email from the Red Gate activation server within 30 minutes. When you receive the email from Red Gate Software, open the attached text file, and copy the text into the empty text box on the next page of the product activation dialog box.

If you are experiencing problems when you activate by email, try manual activation.

Activating using manual activation

Use manual activation if:

  • the product is installed on a computer that is not connected to the Internet
  • your network uses a proxy server that interrupts contact between the product and the Red Gate activation server
  • Internet activation is unsuccessful (see Troubleshooting licensing and activation errors)

To use manual activation, select I would like to activate the product by e-mail. Copy all of the activation request provided on the product activation dialog box and go to the Manual Activation page of the Red Gate Web site. Paste your activation request into the box under Step 1 and click Get Activation Response. When you receive the activation response under Step 2, copy it. On the next page of the product activation dialog box, paste the response.

Licensing

SQL Multi Script is licensed per user according to the maximum number of SQL Servers that the user can execute scripts against at one time. Activation does not require you to specify particular SQL Servers that you are going to be executing scripts against.

This means that if you have a license for 5 SQL Servers, you can execute a set of scripts against any number of databases on up to 5 SQL Servers at once.
