Hello,

My older PC got decommissioned and I need to install Toad for Oracle on laptop. Are my old ciena licenses still valid?

Also, where do I download the TOAD oracle client and does it work with 11g database?

Thank you.

Toad for Oracle license is valid for user - it is not tied to your computer. Thus your license should be valid - unless it is really old. We changed licensing format about 5 years ago - in that case it would the best if you contact support or sales rep and you will be issued a new license.

I think you mean Oracle client and they are available on Oracle site.
