The initial screen of Toad Data Studio requests that user logs into the product. Why Toad requires me to login? 
 

To activate your license in Toad, users have the option of online licensing requiring them to perform online log in, or alternatively apply the license file to the local machine. The default activation method of licenses is online licensing which prompts users at the launch of the product. Users with restricted or no access to the internet, can activate their license by applying their license file locally.

Activate your license online:

1. Click Sign In Online and Toad will automatically open the browser with sign in page
2. If you have existing Quest.com account, sign in using the same account. Otherwise, click Sign up for new account to create a new account. 

Note: If you already have a Toad Data Studio license, no further action is needed. If you do not have a license, Toad automatically provides a fully functioning 30-day Trial license.

Activate your license offline by applying the license file:

1. After downloading the trial edition or completing your purchase transaction, check you email sent from Quest licensing team with attached "license.dlv” file.
2. Ensure Toad is closed and copy the attached "license.dlv" file to the "%AppData%\Local\Quest\Toad Data Studio Licensing" folder. (C:\Users\%USER%\AppData\Local\Quest\Toad Data Studio Licensing).
3. Start Toad Data Studio
