I recently upgraded to SSMS 2016 and the Redgate tools I have for 2014 are still there but missing in 2016. Do i need to uninstall and reinstall Redgate? If so do i need to deactivate my key before doing so? Does anyone know of a way to attach the tools with out a reinstall?

    Only solution that seems to work according to [RedGate Forums - Install on SSMS 2017](https://forum.red-gate.com/discussion/80973/install-on-ssms-2017) is to **Uninstall & Re-install** Toolbelt – KyleMit Feb 15 '19 at 21:37

You shouldn't need to reactivate if you're using the same machine. Installing the tools afresh should just work.

But as a precaution make sure you take a note of your serial number and contact support@red-gate.com if you have any problems.
