'License key or site message invalid' when entering the Site Message to register Toad Data Point (4270174)

When trying to register the commercial version of  Toad Data Point (formerly knowns as Toad for Data Analysts) (TDA), it won't register and reports that the "License key or site message invalid".

There might be several causes for this:

1. The Authorization Key is typed in incorrectly.
2. The Site Message is typed in incorrectly.
3. The a key not meant for Toad Data Point is beign used.

Note, regular Toad for Oracle licenses are no longer accepted in Toad Data Point 3.2 and newer. Only older versions of Toad for Data Analysts will work with Toad for oracle keys.

Both the key and site message need to be registered. If the Site Message field is grayed out, then it is possible that the install of Toad is a trial version. Trial version installs won't accept commercial keys.

1. Veirfy that the Authorization Key is typed in correctly. The authorization or license key is usually 21 digits long, or a 30+ character, alpha numeric string. If the key being entered is less then 21 characters, it is probably an incorrect key.

2. Verify that the Site Message is typed in correctly. Verify if there are company suffixes like "INC", "CORP", "LLC", etc included in the site message. 

3. Check for any missing/extra punctuation, like periods, commas, or hyphens in either the key or site message.

4. Keep in mind that the Site Message is both case and space sensitive.

5. If trying to register a Toad for Oracle license key, the highest version that it can be use with is Toad for Data Analysts 3.1. Toad Data Point 3.2 and newer no longer accepts Toad for Oracle keys.
