How to Purchase SQLMessenger

1 License Types

SQLMessenger offers three license types: Free License, Professional License, and Perpetual License.

The Free License is available at no cost forever. It allows you to create up to 5 report tasks. Emails sent under this license include the SQLMessenger logo and a link to our website. Limited technical support is available through our community only.

The Professional License and Perpetual License are paid licenses. They offer unlimited tasks, remove SQLMessenger branding from emails, include comprehensive technical support via email and our ticket system, and provide access to advanced technical services.

If the Free License does not meet your needs, you can purchase a paid license. This document explains how to purchase and activate a paid SQLMessenger license.
