If you’re following our article series explaining the most common compliance issues when using Quest software, you know that last week we started to talk about Toad and the installation procedure, as well as how this could possibly lead to compliance related discussions with the auditors. We’ll continue the discussion around Toad this week, looking at the different products and components as included in the different Toad software licenses.
Like many other software publishers, Quest has bundled a number of software products and components in its Toad software licenses. Having a clear understanding of what specific products and/or components are part of the different Toad licenses is required to manage your software compliance position and to validate if any conclusion as drawn during a Quest audit is complete and accurate.

It’s not something you wish for, but everyone knows that it’s only a matter of time until Quest will knock on your door with an audit letter in hand. If and when this will happen, you should – before sharing any data – have a clear view of your software compliance status internally. Especially with regards to the deployment and/or use of your Toad software programs, it’s important to have a clear view of the specific products and/or components as included in the different Toad software licenses obtained. Therefore, you are highly recommended to perform an internal Quest audit on a short term, to identify your compliance position first before Quest starts an audit.
