Access the licensing console
...
SQL Virtual Database checks for a valid license each time you start the tool. A valid license is a trial or production key that has been registered for the computer on which you have installed the SQL Virtual Database tool.
If your license expires, such as when the trial period ends, the Console functionality will be limited to removing previously created virtual databases and managing your product license. You can continue to access existing virtual databases using tools such as SQL Server Management Studio.
If your license is deactivated, you will no longer be able to use the tool. You can re-install the tool and reuse a previously deactivated production key.
