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:
Installed Blade Bridge and followed the required folder structure.
Placed my SSIS package (e.g. Lesson_1.txt) under:
C:\Users\User1\Documents\Test_SSIS_Conversion\Source\Lesson_1.txtRan 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:
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.
https://github.com/databrickslabs/lakebridge/issues/1819
Curious to know what licensing is expected to use this tool.

Hi @Rainier_dw @Eric_Kieft ,
https://github.com/databrickslabs/lakebridge/issues/1819 is now tracked under https://github.com/databrickslabs/lakebridge/issues/1836 as an enhancement for product and https://github.com/databrickslabs/lakebridge/pull/1978 shows as merged.
Please try out the CLI upgrade, and let us know if you still have issues. As this is a databrickslabs project, best interactions can be on the issue/buy of the project lakebridge directly and involving SA, can hasten the process. Neverthless, the issue should not arise now, please let me know after you test the CLI upgrade.
Thanks!
