Hi Laurent, I had the same question about a month ago. If your TFS Server has an internet connection you can use the Register-DlmSerialNumber Powershell cmdlet, otherwise you can activate manually. Here are the instructions I got for that from RedGate:
1) Open a command prompt or powershell window as administrator
2) Run cd "c:\program files (x86)\red gate\DLM Automation 2\SC"
3) Run the following (kindly make sure to run as is and *not* include your serial number) .\SQLCompare.exe /activateSerial:
4) A dialog box will pop up and prompt you for your serial number - enter your serial number in the text box
5) Click "Activate"
6) This will fail and then give you an option to "Activate Manually" --please click this and follow the instructions as usual for manual activation (you'll need to copy and paste the provided request/response text to/from a machine with internet connection)

Thanks for your quick answer Chris,
Is that means that I have to install the DLM Automation software in the TFS box?, even if the only things I need are the plugins?

Hi Laurent,
As far as I'm aware, the plugins contain a bundled version but it will expire at the end of the trial period. You should perform a proper install and activation of DLM Automation on your build server. -
Thank you Rob,
I did it and could activate the plugins.

I have installed DLM Automation 2: Build and DLM Automation 2: Release plugins in my TFS server, I have created the Build and Release Definitions successfully, however when I create a build or when I start a deploy of a build, I can see in the logs something like the following:
2017-05-18T20:38:23.1732825Z New-DlmDatabaseConnection, DLM Automation 2.0.7.256, Copyright © Red Gate Software Ltd 2014-2017

I have SQL Toolbelt licenses, I would like to know how can I activate the plugins.
Thanks in advance!
