Official commentHi @Jamie,
Thank you for reaching out on the Redgate forums regarding your SQL Prompt install question.
When installing SQL Prompt via SSMS or the Redgate website installer, you'll often be offered the SQL Toolbelt Essentials bundle installer rather than a SQL Prompt-specific package.
This is by design as the bundle installer lets you install multiple Redgate tools in a single pass, which is useful if you have licences for several products.
The key point to that is you don't need a SQL Toolbelt Essentials licence to use it. During installation, you can select only the products you're licenced for, such as SQL Prompt, and the installer will proceed accordingly. Licensing is checked when a product is run, not at a point of installation.
If you'd prefer a standalone SQL Prompt installer, you can download it directly from: https://download.red-gate.com/checkforupdates/SQLPrompt
This will give you the SQL Prompt-specific executable (e.g.
SQLPrompt_11.3.14.24187.exe) without going through the bundle. -
The toolbelt installer won't allow the update from 11.3.13 to 11.3.14, it prompts every day and every day it says it can't install because that version is already installed.

Why have you started linking to the Toolbelt in the SQL Prompt Release Notes, seems odd:

When attempting to install SQL Prompt version 11.3.14 from within SSMS 22.6 or download directly from Redgate website, the downloaded installer is SQL Toolbelt Essentials, which I am not licenced for.
This appears to be an error. The workaround I am using is to go directly to the downloads section of the Redgate website and obtain the SQL Prompt installer from there (i.e. SQLPrompt_11.3.14.24187.exe).
