Hi, there. Suddenly the freeware version requires a code for activation. I looked for other solutions in the forum but the only solution was to install the latest version (6.8.2.9). It doesn’t work with this one either. Thanks… ---

Hi just readying an old post, it appears that if the version is over a year old, Toad thinks it needs a license key, quest fixed it by uploading a new version. I have raised a support call … ---

This does not seem like a good option - because later it might be difficult to uninstall the trial version to use the freeware version again. Plus when I want to use my Free Trial in the future (when I really need the full features), I won’t be able to do so. ---

Hello dbGreg, With a valid trial license you can ask Support for a help with uninstallation of the commercial/trial version which should solve the issue you can have. In some cases the trial license can be extended. Please contact our Sales team. Regards Ondrej ---
