SQL Change Automation Powershell: Windows Server Core - How to set proxy for license activation

Hi everyone,

I'm facing an issue when trying to activate SQL Compare using the command line or PowerShell on a Windows Server Core installation. I'm using the following command:

sqlcompare.exe /activateSerial:<serialnumber>

However, our server can only communicate with the internet through a proxy, and I haven't found a way to pass proxy settings with this command. Since the proxy is essential for our server's internet access, and because this is a Windows Server Core environment, I'm currently stuck.

Is there a way to configure or specify a proxy when activating SQL Compare via the command line on a Windows Server Core installation? If so, how can I do this?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Best regards,
Dennis

    Hey you need to configure the system-wide proxy settings. Use the command netsh winhttp set proxy proxy-server="http=proxy_address:port" to set the proxy. Once configured, run the activation command sqlcompare.exe /activateSerial:<serialnumber>. This ensures SQL Compare can access the internet through the proxy for activation.
