Check for Updates

Periodically, Red Gate Software issues updates for products. For example:

minor releases
These are issued as free updates.
major releases
These are issued as a free 14-day trial.

If you have a support and upgrades contract, or if you purchased the product in the last 30 days, major releases are free.

To use the Check for Updates service, your computer must have a connection to the Internet. If your Internet connection uses a proxy server, ensure your Internet Explorer^® connection settings are configured correctly. Note that the Check for Updates service does not work with automatic configuration scripts.

The updates are downloaded and the SQL Toolbelt Installer opens so that you can install the updates.

Note that the SQL Toolbelt Installer will prompt you to close the program.
