When you install DLM Automation, you have 28 days to evaluate it. If you need more time to evaluate a product, email licensing@red-gate.com.

Finding your serial number

When you buy a license for a product, we'll send you an invoice that contains your serial number to activate the product. Your invoice shows how many instances of a product the serial number can be used to activate. For information about how to activate, see Activate.

If you can't find your invoice, you can view your serial numbers at red-gate.com/myserialnumbers. You'll need to log in to your Redgate account with the email address and password you provided when you bought the product.

Serial numbers for bundles and suites

If you've bought a bundle or suite of products, your serial number activates all the products in the bundle or suite. For bundles containing both server and client tools (such as the SQL Toolbelt) you will have two serial numbers.

If you deactivate a bundle or suite serial number, all products using that serial number will be deactivated.

For information on which products are included in a bundle, see Bundle history.

Changing the serial number used to activate a product

To change the serial number used to activate DLM Automation, you will first need to deactivate your current serial number with the Unregister-DlmSerialNumber cmdlet.

Then you can either use the Register-DlmSerialNumber cmdlet or the UI to activate a new license - see Activate for more details.

Moving a serial number to a different computer

To move a serial number to a different computer, deactivate the serial number on the old computer, then use it to activate the product on the new computer.

To deactivate a serial number, use the Unregister-DlmSerialNumber cmdlet. If you cannot use the powershell cmdlet for some reason, you can also use the deactivation tool.

If you can't deactivate a serial number, e.g. because the previous computer is already decommissioned, contact Redgate support.
