Title
Prompted for license key every time Toad Data Point is launched -
Description
Users are prompted for license key every time Toad Data Point is launched.
-
Resolution
1. First, go to a user where Toad has been installed, activated, and used already. Go to that user’s path below:
C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Local\{08439167-4CA5-48E9-A810-A3A7C0B80B06}
2. Perform a copy on the “ProductLicenses.xml” file, and paste it in another location where you can access it easily (make a backup).3. Next, copy the backup “ProductLicenses.xml” file into the Citrix server or base / master image path location below:
C:\ProgramData\Quest Software\
The next time a new user starts TDP, that user will not be asked to enter a license key.

Additional Information
Basically, most of our Toad products check the location "C:\ProgramData\Quest Software\" for a license key file. If it finds a valid one, it will copy that file into “C:\Users\\AppData\Local\{08439167-4CA5-48E9-A810-A3A7C0B80B06}”. The file that was copied will now serve as the license key file for that user.
