    Hi David15

    Thank you for reaching out on the Redgate forums regarding your SmartAssembly licensing question. 

    SmartAssembly's deactivation process affects all instances on the machine because its licensing system is server-based than individual user/instance. 

     

    When you deactivate a license, it removes it from the system-wide activation store, impacting all instances on that machine. 

    Here are some potential workarounds, provided you have appropriate licensing: 

    • Use a Virtual Machine – If you need separate licenses for different instances, running SmartAssembly in a VM with its own activation can isolate licenses.
    • Manually Re-activate Another Instance – After deactivation, you can manually re-activate only the instance you need.
