At the 30 day mark, with 90 days still left to go on my community license, some features of the tool have become disabled including all of the Results Grid features. I use a couple of these all the time. I can't find any documentation that says that this is an expected behavior, so it must be a bug, right?
I've tried re-applying my activation key and restarting SSMS, but that hasn't helped.

same was here, yesterday for me. 😕
Since 3.0 (I assume) not all features are available in the community edition anymore: See here  😱

JimmyR was right in his response. I missed that those features are not available under the community license, so they get disabled when the 30 day trial period with all features expires. I'm trying to convince my manager that we need enterprise licenses now.

It has happened again where 30 days have transpired and my community license has lapsed, but there is no more recent version to install to renew it. I am wondering if the developer could kindly extend the license period as this has been a recurring issue. I love the add-in, but work for a non-profit that simply doesn't have the funds for a professional edition of it, so I'm dependent on the community edition.

Hello. is there any way to reactive the Results Grid Aggregates after 30 days? We have the last version of community, and waiting for new version to reactivate this funcionality.

Unfortunately, new versions of the product do not release often enough to keep up with the community license requirement of being updated every 30 days. I would suggest revising the period to every 120 days to reflect this reality. Alternatively, perhaps a one time, affordable (to retain the community this plugin currently has) fee could be charged to allow for this license without the every-n-day upgrade requirement? That way the developer can earn a bit while the community can continue to enjoy using this great add-on.

Why is this still a recurring issue?
