SSMS Tools Pack 2.5.3 is out with bug fixes and improved licensing
- by Mladen Prajdic
Licensing for SSMS Tools Pack 2.5 has been quite a hit and I received some awesome feedback.   The version 2.5.3 contains a few bug fixes and desired licensing improvements.    Changes include more licensing options, prices in Euros because of book keeping reasons (don't you just love those :))    and generally easier purchase and licensing process for users.  Licensing now offers four options:   Per machine license. (€25)    Perfect if you do all your work from a single machine.    Plus one OS reinstall activation.   Personal license (€75)    Up to 4 machine activations.    Plus 2 OS reinstall activations and    any number of virtual machine activations.   Team license (€240)    Up to 10 machine activations.    Plus 4 OS reinstall activations and    any number of virtual machine activations.   Enterprise license (€350+)    For more than 10 machine activations    any number of virtual machine activations.   30 days license.     Time based demo license bound to a machine.   You can view all the details on the Licensing page .   If you want to receive email notifications when new version of SSMS Tools Pack is out you can do that on the Main page or on the Download page .   Version 2.7 is expected in the first half of February and won't support SSMS 2005 and 2005 Express anymore.  Enjoy it!
