SOLUTION:
To install licenses on the target computers, do the following:
To create the Questkey.reg file:
Create the Questkey.reg file in a text editor. The following is a template:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\{08439167-4CA5-48E9-A810-A3A7C0B80B06}]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\{08439167-4CA5-48E9-A810-A3A7C0B80B06}\Local]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\{08439167-4CA5-48E9-A810-A3A7C0B80B06}\Local\REPLACE_WITH_KEY]
"SiteMessage"="REPLACE_WITH_SITEMESSAGE"
"ProductName"="REPLACE_WITH_PRODUCTNAME"
"ProductVersion"="REPLACE_WITH_PRODUCTVERSION"
Follow these steps to configure the file:
Replace the “REPLACE_WITH_(KEY | SITEMESSAGE | PRODUCTNAME | PRODUCTVERSION)" text with the relevant information supplied with your license.
Add any additional licenses as required in the same file by replicating the last four lines and then applying the correct information.
To apply the file on the target computer
Import the file to the Registry on the target PC with the following command in the Windows command prompt:
C:\> reg import Questkey.reg
When the user runs Toad and any product installed with Toad, the software validates the license and removes the entries from the Registry.
Toad (and any other product) is ready for use when the license is validated.
TOAD FOR ORACLE WORKAROUND:
See KB Article 4236935 for silently installing licenses via the license file
TOAD DATA POINT WORKAROUND:
It is also possible to get an existing ProductLicense.xml file with the desired key already populated and then place the file in the "C:\ProgramData\Quest Software" folder so that for any user logs onto the machine can launch Toad Data Point and have the key automatically populate the key upon the first launch of the tool.
