Preparing Toad Data Point for Large-Scale Deployment Using Cloudpaging (4378424)

Toad Data Point needs to be deployed on a large scale using Cloudpaging. The deployment process must ensure compatibility and automate license registration. 

Using the .exe installer for Toad Data Point may lead to compatibility issues with Cloudpaging. Additionally, manual license registration can be time-consuming and prone to errors.

1. Use the MSI Installer: Toad Data Point provides a 64-bit MSI installer, which is recommended for better compatibility with Cloudpaging.
2. Software Requirements: Ensure the following dependencies are met before packaging:
   • Microsoft .NET Framework 
   • Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 
3. Identify Dependencies: Include all necessary libraries or frameworks required by the MSI installer.
4. License Deployment Using .reg Files:
   • Toad Data Point supports license deployment via Windows registry keys (.reg files).
   • Cloudpaging Studio can process .reg files for automated license registration.
5. Steps to Include a .reg File:
   • Place the .reg file in the Installer_Cfg folder.
   • The file will automate license registration during the packaging process.
