Sql Source Control Serial Key
Sometimes you’ll need to retrieve your SQL Server Product Key from an existing installation on your Client or Server machine: the most common scenario takes place when you have an old Server to move or relocate and no one around you seem to remember where the license are… or if you’ve simply lost the Service Key post-it.
Luckily enough, you can easily get this information back thanks to this neat PowerShell script made by Jacob Bindslet:
Sql Source Control Serial Numbers. Convert Sql Source Control trail version to full software. SQL Source Control is an add-in for SSMS and links databases to version control systems, giving users the ability to version control their database schemas. SSMS 2017 and Source Control submitted 12 months ago by [deleted] Just downloaded the latest and greatest version of ssms for work, but can’t seem to find a way to integrate source control.

The script works with any SQL Server edition & version starting from 2005: SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2. Pay close attention, though, if you’re using Sql Server 2012 or Sql Server 2014 you’ll have to make some small modifications to that code.
For Sql Server 2012 you need to replace two lines of code. In details, replace line 5 with the following line:
$regPath='SOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server110ToolsSetup' |
And also replace line 16 with the following line (thanks to gprkns for pointing it out):
You can also take a look of the complete script code for Sql Server 2012 at the following link. How to activate serial key on origin for sims 4.
For Sql Server 2014, Microsoft moved the DigitalProductID node to the actual instance name in the registry, so you will need to replace line 5 with something similar to the following (depending on your installation):
$regPath='SOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL12.[YOUR SQL INSTANCE NAME]Setup' |
All you have to do in order to execute this script is to perform these actions:
- Launch a PowerShellprompt (Start > Run, then type powershell and press ENTER.
- Copy the above function text and past it directly inside the prompt area.
- Press ENTER a couple times, just to be sure you’re back to the prompt.
- Type GetSqlServerProductKey, then press ENTER.
If everything has been done like it should you’ll be able to see the following informations:
As you can see there’s a lot of stuff regarding your SQL Server installation, most of them you should know already, the latter being the Product Key.
That’s all for now: happy recover!
Screenshot above is from my SSMS 2017.
I want begin to use tfs on SQL server and I googled how to use it and apparently there should be an option for source control in tools-->option but there is no option for source control. How can I fix it?
I have VS 2017 and 2015 and I'm using tfs on vs 2017 right now. No problem there.I have team foundation server 2018 installed too.
Thank you in advance

By default the packages which source control needed are not as part of SSMS.
However you can try to enable the Visual Studio packages manually. See Source Control in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) for details.
To enable TFS integration in SSMS, follow these steps:
1) Close SSMS if it is running.
2) Install Visual Studio 2015 on your SSMS machine. If you don’t already have Visual Studio, Community Edition will work fine. This is a large download but you can save some space by unselecting all languages during the Visual Studio install if your only purpose is to enable Source Control in SSMS.
3) Edit the ssms.pkgundef file found at C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server130ToolsBinnManagementStudiossms.pkgundef.
At the top of this file there are a series of packages grouped together related to TFS Source Control features. These packages must be removed from the pkgundef file. This can be done by either deleting the section or commenting out each line using ‘//’. Here is an example of what the section should look like if commented out:// TFS SCC Configuration entries. The TFS entries block Team Explorer from loading.
Once completed, start SSMS and the “Team” menu should be visible in the SSMS menu bar. This menu and related features are the standard Visual Studio functionality. This enables connections to TFS servers or Git servers.
