Existing DB2 Client Support
Toad installs a DB2 for LUW 9.5 client as part of the installation process. The DB2 9.5 client can co-exist with an existing DB2 8 client; however, it is incompatible with a DB2 7 client. If a DB2 7 client is already installed on the system, the Toad installation stops and cannot complete. You must upgrade to the DB2 8 client and restart the Toad installation to avoid losing functionality in some DB2 native tools.

Any of these database versions:
