The 11.5 Freeware build occurred on April 2nd, 2012. So it expired April 2= nd, 2013. When you download it, use it and so forth is of no consequence. Regarding why you're having trouble running the 11.6 Freeware, I'll let oth= ers take a shot if they want, or I can come back to the thread later today.

I am on Windows = 7 Professional, service pack 1. I have tried to be diligent and search onl= ine, including TOAD forums, and so far I haven't found a resolution/answer.= If I am overlooking something please let me know. Below are the steps I = have taken: Monday when I tried to open my TOAD for Oracle Freeware V11.5, it gave me t= he message that "This version of Toad for Oracle has expired. You must dow= nload a new version before proceeding." It had been approx. 1 week since I= 'd used it. I had downloaded the V11.5 in Sept 2012, so the year was not u= p, so I assume it was simply the migration to a new version. From http://www.toadworld.com/DOWNLOADS/Freeware/ToadforOracleFreeware/tabi= d/558/Default.aspx , I initially installed the 64-bit version. It did not = find my Oracle home, and then I realized my Oracle client is a 32-bit, so I= uninstalled 64-bit FreeTOAD V11.6 and downloaded the 32-bit installer. I = ran the installer and everything seemed to progress/install fine - I did no= t get any error messages. I then tried starting the application - from the desktop shortcut, from the= All Programs -> Quest Software -> TOAD for Oracle Freeware 11.6 path, and = by directly double-clicking the exe in windows explorer. In all cases, I = see a very brief processing circle at my mouse pointer (~1 second) and then= nothing happens. I ran the same install again (double clicked msi file) and ran it in repair= mode, thinking perhaps there had been some problem during the install that= wasn't obvious. Same results/behavior. Then I tried completely uninstalling it, downloading the 32-bit installer a= gain, and running the install. Same results/behavior. I think that's all the steps I took. I appreciate any insights/suggestions/guidance you can share.
