Is there a way to activate this in a server without email address?

Hi,
We are trying to create an automated data transfer process using SQL data compare. Goal is to have a scheduled task execute SQL data compare to sync data. However, we don't want an specific user to have to log in the server to activate the license. Is there there a way to provision a server license? or what's the recommended way to approach this with Redgate tools.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @adibInEdf

The best approach would be to buy a Redgate Deploy license and then use the sqldatacompare.exe that comes with SQL Change Automation Powershell

Sounds good. Thank you.
