SQL Complete - how to get only free Features?

Post by Germo » Sat 23 Jan 2021 16:58

I want to check the features of the Express edition. But I can't, because after installing a trial version is activated. That's fine to evaluate this Professional Edition. But I want also to evaluate the features of the Express edition.

This site is helpful, but there are some entries with a mark (1) Limited functionality:
https://www.devart.com/dbforge/sql/sqlc ... tions.html

And I need more information about these entries. I need to know what is possible regarding "SQL formatting" in the Express version to make a decision if the Express version can be used in a team to unify formatting or not.

How can I easily switch on or off Professional features?

Once the trial period is expired, you will be offered to switch to the free Express edition.

Also, you can manually switch to the Express edition at any time as follows:
1. Close dbForge Studio for SQL Server.
2. Start the registry editor Regedit.exe.
3. Navigate to the registry branch:

Code: Select all

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Devart\dbForge Studio for SQL Server\Activation\
4. Add a DWORD (32-bit) Value.
5. Name it 'UseExpress' and set it to 1.
