For users with restricted or no access to the internet Quest offers an alternative pathway of offline licensing. After having purchased an offline license of Toad Edge you will obtain a license file, e.g. license.dlv and you will not be required to sign-in to your Quest account. See Product licensing for more information.

To activate offline license on Windows

  1. Create a file called license.cfg and place it in “configuration” folder in Toad Edge installation folder, e.g. “C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Toad Edge”
  2. Open license.cfg and enter a path to each license file on a new line or separate them by a semi-colon (;), e.g. “C:\Users\johndoe\Documents\Licenses\license.dlv”.
  3. Launch Toad Edge and it will automatically find the license and validate it offline
  4. Users can create license.cfg file at an alternative location in Toad Edge program data location, e.g. C:\ProgramData\Quest Software\Toad Edge\

To activate offline license on macOS

  1. Create or locate a file called license.cfg and place it in Applications/Toad Edge/Contents/eclipse/configuration
  2. Open license.cfg and enter a path to each license file on a new line or separate them by a semi-colon (;), e.g. “Users/johndoe/Documents/Licences/license.dlv”
  3. Launch Toad Edge and it will automatically find the license and validate it offline
  4. Users can create license.cfg file and place it in alternate location, e.g. ~/Library/Containers/com.quest.Toad/Configuration/

NOTE:

  • When using a terminal on macOS, please, keep in mind that different symbols might be inserted in place of spaces. However, these symbols must not be in the configuration file.
  • Toad Edge can operate either in online mode or offline mode. Once the Offline license is configured, Toad Edge will only operate in offline mode.
