We had a server previously registered with activateSerial that
WAS working, and we decided to test out the uninstall / reinstall process for a deployment to another server as a manager wanted us to test it out. These are the steps we did:
- Deactivate Serial
- Uninstall Red-gate sql compare
- Reinstall latest v13 of sql compare
- Use http://127.0.0.1:22223/dialog/views/settings.html to check the box enabled
- Run the activate serial
This is where the problem occurred. The serial would not activate. We kept getting:
E:\Program Files (x86)\Red Gate\SQL Compare 12>sqlcompare /activateSerial:************************
SQL Compare Command Line V12.3.3.4490
Copyright c 1999 - 2017 Redgate Software Ltd
SQL Compare: expired, edition standard
Activating license
Exiting since no valid license was found
We even then tried logging into the UI with a red-gate ID. That did not help either. Can anyone suggest how to fix this? We had a deployment for Thursday night that is now going to have to be delayed.
