Hi All, I really need help with this as i don’t have much experience with this product Could you share standard publisher licensing rules for “TOAD for Oracle”? Is it possibly a component of other products? Perhaps some are included as part of TOAD FOR ORACLE PROFESSIONAL EDITION or TOAD FOR ORACLE BASE EDITION or TOAD FOR ORACLE DB ADMIN MODULE Specifically, I’m also trying to understand the differences across the following: - Toad for Oracle - Toad for SQL Server - Toad for Data Analysts - Toad Data Modeler - Toad for MySQL So any help would be fantastic.

As far as licenses go, I’ve attached the Toad for Oracle license agreement file. Toad for Oracle is a product. There are several different “flavors” of Toad for Oracle with different features and prices for each. When you purchase licenses, you purchase them for the features you want. As for which “flavor” has what in it, you can look at this feature matrix - [http://www.toadworld.com/products/toad-for-oracle/w/toad\_for\_oracle\_wiki/538.toad-editions-and-features-matrix](http://www.toadworld.com/products/toad-for-oracle/w/toad_for_oracle_wiki/538.toad-editions-and-features-matrix). There are various “Toads” in the product line. Toad for Oracle connects to Oracle databases, Toad for SQL Server connects to SQL Server, … with each one designed to the unique needs of that user community.

Or could you provide me with contacts to people who could help with these products. · Toad for SQL Server · Toad for Data Analysts · Toad Data Modeler · Toad for MySQL I have used the Dell links you provided before in the past but I find that Dell never get back in contact with me, so really would appreciate if you can help me.

Dell Software has standardized on licensing agreements so the one I attached earlier should be the same for all of the products you have listed. There are forums on ToadWorld for each of the products you have listed so if you have any specific questions, you may want to post to the individual forums. Team members monitor the forums so you should be able to get the info you need directly.

Hi Liss, Many thanks for your assistance in relation to TOAD licensing. I just have one final question which I hope you could help me with. _Could you also confirm the standard license metric for TOAD – per user? Per device? If per seat, what is the standard definition of a “seat”?_ Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Neil, For this question, you should probably talk to our licensing department or your local sales rep via the links Greg provided above. Toad for Oracle can be licensed a number of different ways. The default is on a per seat basis; however your local sales rep can give you information on all the optional licensing methods. Thanks, -John
