Activating SQL Backup Manager

When you download a DMT Software product, you have a 14 day trial period in which you can evaluate the product. When your trial period expires, you are invited to purchase the product. You are then sent a serial number, which you use to activate SQL Backup Manager. You can, of course, purchase and activate the product prior to the expiry of the trial period, if preferred.

SQL Backup Manager is licensed per SQL Server. If you have a number of SQL Server instances registered with SQL Backup Manager that are all on the same SQL Server, you need to activate only one of the instances. The status of SQL Backup Manager on the SQL Server for a registered SQL Server instance is displayed in the Registered SQL Servers pane in the graphical user interface. You can activate SQL Backup Manager on a SQL Server if one of the following icons is displayed to the right of the name of the SQL Server instance:

SQL Backup Manager is activated for a trial period on this SQL Server.

The SQL Backup Manager trial period has expired. To use SQL Backup Manager with this SQL Server instance, you must activate SQL Backup Manager for the SQL Server.

Re-activating SQL Servers

If you need to re-install the product on the same computer, for example following installation of a new operating system, you can re-activate the product using the same serial number. If you need to change the computer on which the product is installed and your current serial number does not work, contact the DMT support team at support@sql-tools.net.
