I've heard so many nice things about RedGate SQL Prompt that I'm afraid of asking for it to avoid losing it when changing jobs and fall into depression.
It is very useful. Do what I did when I moved - whine, sulk, throw your toys out until they buy it. It's pretty much standard everywhere I've worked, so I wouldn't worry about that. SQL Prompt in isolation isn't expensive. I was going to buy it myself if I couldn't convince the company to get the toolbelt.

For those that do have it, as one of us normally brings it up when we talk budget every 6 months or so, how does the "users" cost work (what does a user count as)? If I'm on my desktop in the office, and then log into the laptop at home to work remotely, does that count as 1 user (as it's the same domain account), or 2, as it's 2 different machines?

Yes. That's one user. If someone else were using your system at work at the same time as you were using your laptop, that would be two users.

Thanks Grant. Didn't want to make the assumption that user was indeed "user". Least it's not a model of "Oh, you have multiple users on the same PC due to hot desk/dynamic working? Well if you have 2 possible users on 3 different machines, that's 3 x 2 users. So you need 6." -_-

I think a clarifying point is whether you are remoting into the machine at work or if you are just using sql prompt on the laptop. I was doing the latter and therefore had to get two licenses.

The Colorado Springs SQL Server Users Group held its SQL Saturday this past Saturday (2017-03-25). Our fearless SSC Leader was there and held two outstanding sessions (yes, I am kissing up a bit), and while I had the opportunity to talk to him I asked if it would be okay to ask for some help from this awesome community. So here it goes, my daughter would like some help so she doesn't have to depend on me to make this great opportunity happen. What opportunity you ask? This one: Daughter seeking help Awesome Internship Opportunity Abroad in Ireland.
Yes, I benefit as well, as I save some money that can go to continuing to pay for her college.
Thank you.
