dotConnect for MySQL license cannot be used with TOAD

Hello. I am trying to connect to MySQL with TOAD. I have dotConnect for MySQL (trial) installed on my PC. The very first time TOAD's connection with MySQL worked fine and I worked with that connection across 2 days. However, now after my system re-start, when I am trying to make the same connection, I get following error message:

Assembly that contains embedded dotConnect for MySQL license cannot be used with this application: Toad. Please correct license information.

Further, I am able to successfully use the Visual Studio Server Explorer to connect to MySQL using dotConnect for MySQL.

How can this be resolved?

Well, I suppose you can do 1 of 2 things:
1) Contact the dotConnect people and ask them to solve the license issue
2) Download the regular MySQL/.NET connector - http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/

Hi Jonathan. Before posting the query here, I posted the same with the dotConnect people and the answer is still awaited. I have downloaded the "MySQL .Net" connector. However I am unable to find how to specify TOAD to use this connector. Can you tell me where this configuration goes?

If you are using windows then the ODBC connection in the Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> ODBC SourcesSetup an ODBC connections with the drivers you want and the database you want and then tell Toad (or any other windows application) to connect to it.
