You can use: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlManagementObjects see installation info: https://docs.microsoft.com/nl-be/sql/relational-databases/server-management-objects-smo/installing-smo

but no idea if this is redistributable...

as it only talks about design, develop and testing:

1. INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS. You may install and use any number of copies of the software on your devices to design, develop and test your programs.
