Activate with an activation key

You can activate dbForge SQL Complete by entering a purchased or trial activation key.

1. Open SSMS or Visual Studio, then select SQL Complete > Help > Activate Product.

Tip

If the SQL Complete menu isn’t visible on the menu bar, you can find it under Extensions. To add it to the menu bar, select Extensions > Customize Menu, clear the SQL Complete checkbox, then click Save and Restart.

2. In the Product Activation dialog, select Enter an activation key, then click Continue.

Select the Enter activation key option

3. Enter your activation key.

You can find it in the Customer Portal or in the email you received from Devart. If you don’t have an activation key, sign in to the Customer Portal to generate a trial key. Copy the key and paste it into the activation key box.

Tip

Use the activation key (a long alphanumeric string), not the license ID (formatted as XXXX-XXXX-XXX).
