SSMS Tools Pack 2.5 is out. Added support for SQL Server 2012.

Because I wanted to make SSMS Tools Pack as solid as possible for SSMS 2012 there are no new features only bug fixes and speed improvements.

I am planning new awesome features for the next version so be on the lookout.

The biggest change is that SSMS Tools Pack for SSMS 2012 is no longer free. For previous SSMS versions it is still free.

Licensing now offers following options:

Per machine license. ($29.99)
Perfect if you do all your work from a single machine.
This license is valid per major release of SSMS Tools Pack
(e.g. v2.x, v3.x, v4.x).

Fully transferable license valid for 3 months. ($99.99)
Perfect for work across many machines.
It's not bound to a machine or an SSMS Tools Pack version.

30 days license.
Time based demo license bound to a machine.

You can view all the details on the Licensing page.

If you want to receive email notifications when new version of SSMS Tools Pack is out you can do that on the Main page or on the Download page.

This is also the last version to support SSMS 2005 and 2005 Express.

Enjoy it!

Although I could understand the reasons for change the licensing mode, I can only say that it's a pity read that.

Get luck!!

How about connection coloring in the 'Edit Rows' window?

Well worth the license price... just the execution plan analyzer is worth that. Glad to have the tools back, really missed them when I made the jump to 2012. Great work on a great production.

Good Luck Mladen.
