Licensing


Each developer contributing database changes that will be deployed to a Production environment(s) needs to be licensed with Flyway Teams or Flyway Enterprise depending on whether the pipeline is a Redgate Pipeline or a Flyway Teams Pipeline.

After purchasing Flyway Teams/Enterprise, you will be assigned two license keys:

  1. Flyway Desktop enterprise/teams - This 16 alphanumeric key is usually in the format of XXX-XXX-XXXXXX-XXXX will be used to license the GUI tools: Flyway Desktop, SQL Clone, and the schema and data comparison tools.

  2. Flyway Engine (CLI) enterprise/teams - This key starts with "FL01" and contains 512 characters.  This will be used when executing the Flyway command line directly (e.g., running ad-hoc commands on your development machine or calling the command lines as part of a CI/CD process) or via the Flyway Docker image

If the keys are associated with your Redgate ID, you can find the keys by logging into the Redgate Portal to manage your license:
