When upgrading from a trial version to a GA release and using a permanent license key, TOAD for SQL Server may still show it as a trial key. x
From version 5.0.1, we start embedding a trial in install directory.
The key will last for 30 days and expires.
If you have a commercial key, it will work with trial key together until it expires.
You can invoke licensing dialog from help menu to remove the key if you like.
1. From the Main Menu: Help | Licensing
2. Click on Delete License link.
(See attachment.)
For Toad for SQL Server versions, before 5.x:
RESOLUTION 1
Perform a custom uninstall of Toad for SQL Server which should remove the old license.key file
RESOLUTION 2:
1. Exit Toad for SQL Server.
2. Open the license.key file located in the Toad for SQL Server folder (C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Toad for SQL Server_ via Notepad and remove the trial key, leaving the permanent key in the file and save this file.
3. Restart Toad for SQL Server, and if problem persists, reboot PC.
