If you've already installed the utility, only a few steps are usually involved in enabling dbForge SQL Complete. An overview of how to enable it is provided here:

1. Launching the installer, the wizard's Start Page will appear. Press Install to continue.
2. Select the directory where SQL Complete will be installed. Next, select Next.
3. In this stage, you can choose SQL Server Management Studio or Visual Studio as the applications you want to integrate SQL Complete into. Choose Next.
4. At this point, three options for startup optimization will appear. Choose the option most suitable for your specific situation after reading the succinct descriptions provided in the installer. Once finished, select Next.
5. At this point, the installation procedure starts. The wizard will extract the files, optimizing the application starting. Give it a few minutes to complete.
6. When the installation is finished, you'll receive a notification. Make sure you check the corresponding checkbox to immediately run SQL Complete. To end the wizard, click Finish.
7. The SQL Complete menu displays on the MS SSMS and/or VS menu bar following the installation.

Currently, SQL Complete ought to be turned on by default. The add-in is ready if Disable Code Completion appears in the menu. Click Enable Code Completion if you need to enable it again after disabling it in the future.

You install the application. When you load SSMS, you should see a "SQL Complete" section in the tool bar.  To enable Code Completion, select the option from the drop-down under "SQL Complete" in the tool bar.
