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](http://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.
