How to activate software on a remote machine with no GUI?

I have a Deployment Suite for Oracle license, which I believe entitles me to install the Schema compare tool on various machines.
I want to install the Schema Compare tool on another machine where I only have access to the shell. When I try to activate the software using:
SCO.exe /activateserial
I am told that all entitlements are claimed.
Is there a way to associate my Redgate Id via the command line?

You're correct, the Deployment Suite for Oracle is licensed per user, you can use it on multiple machines.
If you remove your Redgate ID as a user, via the customer portal it won't affect your already licensed machine. I appreciate that this isn't an ideal workaround and we're doing a lot of work on how this works so hopefully, this will be something that's improved in the future.

Unfortunately, you can't associate your Redgate ID via the command line at this moment in time. When you activate via the command line it'll show as a 'not logged in user' so you'll need to remove your Redgate ID as a user via the customer portal to enable activation. The following articles add some further information:

My understanding from engagement with the account manager was that we would need one Deployment Suite license per contributor to source control. This could then be used across multiple machines. Is that not the case?
