ApexSQL News

Effective November 25, 2009, the ApexSQL Source Control add-in is no longer an ApexSQL product add-in. All extended source control features that the add-in provides for ApexSQL Edit, ApexSQL Diff, and ApexSQL Script are now fully absorbed by each of the applicable apps. This means that seamless integration with Visual Source Safe, Team Foundation Server, and SourceGear Vault is now FREE on each of these apps and no longer requires an activation key. All you need to do is download and install the latest versions of these products.

Is the ApexSQL Source Control add-in totally gone? I still see it marked as "coming soon" on your website.

ApexSQL Source Control add-in will be eventually released as an SSMS add-in like ApexSQL Refactor and ApexSQL Debug.

What if I already purchased the Apexsql Source Control add-in?
We can credit you with a free key to the NEW ApexSQL Source Control SSMS add-in or another software for equivalent price.

How do I get the benefit of the new addin in ApexSQL Diff, ApexSQL Edit, and ApexSQL Script?Simply download the new version – the functionality is now part of the applications itself with no need for additional addins.

Where can I download the new free addin?
There's no need to download anything. Just download the applications and you immediately have access to the features that used to require ApexSQL Source Control.

Important Changes to ApexSQL products

We are happy to announce that ApexSQL Code and ApexSQL Report are now FREE products. You can now take advantage of each of these products' features without purchasing an activation key.

We also have fully integrated the ApexSQL Source Control add-in features to ApexSQL Edit, ApexSQL Diff, and ApexSQL Script. With this integration, you no longer need to activate the add-in separately to use the additional source control features it provides--these features have been completely absorbed by all applicable apps.

Is the ApexSQL Source Control add-in totally gone? I still see it marked as "coming soon" on your website.

ApexSQL Source Control add-in will be eventually released as an SSMS add-in like ApexSQL Refactor and ApexSQL Debug.

Change in Evaluation Period
Starting November 25, 2009, the evaluation period for ApexSQL products has been changed to 14 days. This change is now implemented in ApexSQL Diff, ApexSQL Script, and ApexSQL Data Diff. This change will eventually be applied to all products except ApexSQL Edit.

ApexSQL Edit's evaluation period has been extended to 90 days.
