Most of Redgate's products now use user account licensing, the aim of wh= ich is to give our customers more control over how they manage their licens= es.
As an end user of a Redgate product, you'll see the most obvious change = when you=E2=80=99re prompted to log in with a Redgate ID during product act= ivation.
As the license owner (normally the person who purchased the product) or = a license admin, you=E2=80=99ll now see a list of identified users against = the product when you log in to the My Products page on the Redgate website.= As well as seeing who=E2=80=99s actually using the licenses, you=E2=80=99l= l also be able to remotely deactivate those identified users (for example i= f a person has left the company, or if the license needs to be freed up for= someone else to use).
When you install most Redgate products (apart from free ones), you have&= nbsp;a trial period to evaluate them without purchase. Trial periods vary f= rom 14 to 28 days depending on the product.
If you need more time to evaluate a product, email&= nbsp;licensing@red-gate.com.
If you've purchased Redgate products, you can log in to the Redgate website to manage your product licenses. You'll = need to log in with the email address and password you provided when y= ou purchased the product.
After you log in, you can view details of every product you've purchased= , including the number of licenses and serial numbers for each product.&nbs= p;
For some products, you can view details of who is using each license, an= d deactivate those licenses from the website. This functionality is part of= a series of licensing updates (see Updates to our licensing system above),= and is not yet available in all products.
To see more information about who is using a license, they'll need to ha= ve logged in to that product with a Redgate ID. When users are logged in, t= hey'll be shown as identified users in the license management section of th= e website. Activations where the user hasn't logged in previously will= be shown as anonymous.
For more information about managing your licenses, see Managing your Redgate licenses= a>.
When end users have activated products with a Redgate ID, you'll be able= to see their email addresses.
Not all products currently support activation with a Redgate ID, but we'= re working on adding support across the product range.
Because we don't know who users are if they haven't signed in with with = a Redgate ID, we can't show identified users for all activations. Historica= l activations where a Redgate ID has not been used will be shown as anonymo= us.
However, if end users activate again using a Redgate ID, they will then = be shown as identified users for the products they are using.
When you purchase a product, you can view your serial numbers at&nb= sp;red-gate.com/myserialnumbers. You'll need to log i= n with the email address and password you provided when you purchased&= nbsp;the product. Each time a serial number is used by a new user to activa= te a product, one license will be claimed.
For information about how to activate, see Activating<= /a>.
For more information about managing your licenses, see Managing your Redgate licenses.
If you need to reinstall products on the same computer (e.g. after insta= lling a new operating system), you can reactivate them using the same seria= l number. This doesn't affect the number of available licenses for the seri= al number. For information about moving a license to a different computer, = see Moving a product license to a different computer.
If you've purchased a bundle or suite of products, your serial= number will activate all the products in the bundle or suite.
If you deactivate a bundle or suite serial number, all products using th= at serial number will be deactivated.
For information on which products are included in a bundle, see Bundle history.
