TOAD upgrade question

Toad for IBM DB2
1

Hi there,

I have a licensed Toad for DB2 version 5.30 installed on a Windows 7 PC.
I want to update it to the latest version which should be the 7.2 or 3 if I'm right?
I also want to upgrade the PC to Windows 10/11
Now, consider that Toad is running some job by default that was implemented by my predecessor, I honestly don't know anything about Toad and SQL, I just limit myself to check if the job runs smoothly everyday, but for security reasons I should update the version.
I want to underline that if something goes wrong I wont be able to re-configure toad, so I did a backup just in case.
Could you please tell me if the latest Toad version is very different from the 5.30?
And if I upgrade, nothing will happen to the configuration, to the job and the commands?
I won-t have to re-configure anything right?
The job is launched by a task scheduler in windows btw.
And would my license for version 5.3 be valid also for the latest one?
Thanks

HI - if you are current on maintenance for this Toad product you should be able to update your version, meaning that you can download the latest from support.quest.com and install the latest version. This new version will not replace the old version but install "side-by-side". When you start up the new version it will recognize the old version is installed and ask if you want to migrate the settings from old version.
