@nickfotopoulos We're looked into this error. It was a problem at our end in the Redgate platform, which should now have been fixed. Could you try again and let us know if it works for you this time?
That worked! I was able to register and setup a team. I still need to test the setup in SSMS, but have a bunch of WiP so i'll have wait until I wrap up a few items to test everything.
No luck. I was able to create a team on the redgate-platform.com website, but still don't have any of the "Log in to the Redgate Platform" option. / comments

Is your SQL Toolbelt Essentials license a subscription license? If not, the Redgate Platform features are not available to you. If you look in the SQL Prompt log file (ususally in %localppdata%\Red Gate\Logs\SQL Prompt 10), there should be a line that shows what features you have available to you:
<div>2022-03-08 10:17:27.905 +00:00 [Information] Current license: Enabled = True, Activated = True, Features = BulkCodeAnalysis, BulkFormatting, CrossProductIntegration, PlatformSnippetSharing, PlatformSnippetSharing</div><div></div>
If the features listed don't include the PlatformSnippetSharing and PlatformSnippetSharing, you won't be able to use the Redgate Platform.
What exactly is the difference? Seems like a pointless distinction. A subscription license and a perpetual that is active are effectively the same thing. The only real difference is that with a perpetual if you stop renewing you don't get updates anymore, but can still use the products. Seems like if you can cut off the ability to download updates when a perpetual license isn't renewed, then you could probably do the same for RedGate Platform features. 🤷🏼♂️ I'll contact my rep I guess. If I convert my license to a subscription, then does that mean all of the tools just stop working if my subscription expired? / comments

Same here. I have a subscription, and renew every year. I get no option under help. After reviewing the "Sharing Snippets" document I notice that you had to go to redgate-platform.com to so I tried that, it logged me in automatically, after clicking continue I was shows a ToS agreement. After clicking on "Agree" I got the following error:
Error.

Huge missed opportunity here. Make a freaking SQL Prompt Snippets Hub, and add an interface to the Snippets manager that allows you to browse the hub and download Snippets you like and share you own. Until then maybe users can work out a common repository format to use that makes sharing these easier. / comments

I've tried moving the files over to my profile on my new machine, but because TFS uses Workspaces it's quickly turning in to more effort than just relinking everything. [image] I wonder if this file copy method would work or be easier if the SQL Source were stored in git repos instead of TFS? I'll have to link a couple of databases to git repos and inspect the SQL Source Control AppData\Local settings to see if it is more self contained and copy friendly. All of the RedGate tools could greatly benefit from some shared configuration settings for teams. / comments

Blinded by my frustration I blamed Red Gate software for a SSMS problem. My apologies! [image] After posting this and beginning to look for solutions again, I stumbled upon... SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) 2012: Unusually high memory usage (leaking?) ...and remembers that I had actually solved this problem before. The issue basically involved an intellisense memory leak that is triggered when you have a complex query and you modify it in such a way as to break the syntax. Sometimes this triggers a downward spiral in SSMS where it continues to eat memory and degrade in performance until you close it or it crashes. A few weeks ago, having forgotten about the fix, I noticed that Outlining wasn't working and turned Intellisense back on so I could collapse code sections. This brought the problem back. I think the reason I associated it with SQL Source Control is because i'm far more like to be using it when i'm writing the kind of queries that trigger this issue. I honestly don't even notice Intellisense being turned off because SQL Prompt does all of that better. The only thing I truly miss with it turned off is code outlining. / comments

SQL Source Control makes SSMS almost completely unusable. I can work all day using RedGate tool without a single hiccup but after I run SQL Source Control the first time SSMS performance (Not just right click menus, but everything including typing) begins to degrade slowly over the course of an hour of two until I can barely type 1 character every second or two and eventually it SSMS will stop responding. I've got in the habit of only checking in code once or twice a day and restarting SSMS anytime I use SQL Source Control to avoid the frustration. This obviously comes with it's own set of problems. Sometimes things don't get checked in like they should, or something is modified by two people over that period of time and the history of changes by one of them is lost. SQL Source Control was and still is the primary reason we bought the Toolbelt Essentials. We occasionally use other stuff, but certainly not enough to justify the cost. It's been like this since we started using it and disabling the options to auto refresh. I've even gone as far as uninstalling all of the tools, SSMS, and Visual Studio and reinstalling everything fresh and using them without any additional extensions or tools and I still experience the problem. At first I thought it might be related to the fact that i'm regularly connected to 4-5 instances with a couple dozen databases across them, but i've experienced this issue even on days where I spend most of my time in one or two of them. I really like the tools, but this issue is slowly pushing me closer and closer to evaluating other products and switching. / comments

Never mind, I just figure it out. [image] Seems like as soon as I edit a bit of code associated with where a block begins or ends they all come back. It would be nice if SQL Prompt triggered what every causes this to update automatically after formatting code. / comments
