, Help Needed: Obtaining and Applying Blade Bridge License for SSIS-to-DB SQL Conversion

[Rainier_dw]

Hello everyone,

I’m in the process of using Blade Bridge to convert my SSIS .dtsx packages into Databricks SQL, but I’ve run into a licensing issue and could use some guidance.

What I’m doing:

1. Installed Blade Bridge and followed the required folder structure.

2. Placed my SSIS package (e.g. Lesson_1.txt) under:

    

   C:\Users\User1\Documents\Test_SSIS_Conversion\Source\Lesson_1.txt

3. Ran the conversion command successfully — logs show no errors and exit code 0.

   Sample log output:

   '''

   ETL::SSIS [1208:DBG]: 2025-05-28 13:11:43 register_links: ARRAY(0xbbf3810)
   ETL::SSIS [2393:DBG]: 2025-05-28 13:11:43 catalog_sql_statements: C:.Users.User1.Documents.Test_SSIS_Conversion.Source.Lesson_1.
   ETL::SSIS [530]: 2025-05-28 13:11:43 Checksum: value for C:.Users.User1.Documents.Test_SSIS_Conversion.Source.Lesson_1: D41D8CD98F00B204E9800998ECF8427E
   ssis2any [440]: 2025-05-28 13:11:43 Package not a part of licensed checksum: C:.Users.User1.Documents.Test_SSIS_Conversion.Source.Lesson_1, checksum value: D41D8CD98F00B204E9800998ECF8427E. Skipping!
   DBXCONV [336]: 2025-05-28 13:11:43 dbxconv finished execution successfully

   '''

   Although the tool reports success, no output SQL files are generated. The debug messages indicate:

    

   Package not a part of licensed checksum: … Skipping!

   What I’ve tried so far:

   • Pasted my account license key into the expected .txt file.

   • Ensured the file name and path match the documentation.

   • Verified folder structure and file permissions.

     Questions:

     1. Where do I obtain the official Blade Bridge license?

        • Is it provided through the Databricks UI, CLI, or a separate portal?

     2.What format should the license file have?

     • I tried a plain-license-key text file, but the checksum mismatch persists.

     3. Any additional steps I might be missing to register or activate the license so that my packages are recognized?

     Thank you in advance for any pointers or examples of how you’ve successfully applied the Blade Bridge license.

Running into the same problem and noticed it was reported as a bug in the databricks labs github yesterday as well.

Curious to know what licensing is expected to use this tool.
