The company was acquired by Quest Software in March 2004 for about $115 million.[1] Aelita Software products and technology have been incorporated into Quest's Windows Management products. Much of the management from Aelita transitioned to Veeam, which launched in 2006. In 2012, Quest Software was acquired by Dell, for $2.36 billion to form the Dell Software.[2] In June 2016, Dell announced the sale of their software division, including the Quest business, to Francisco Partners and Elliott Management Corporation.[3]

On November 1, 2016, the sale of Dell Software to Francisco Partners and Elliott Management was completed and the company was re-launched as Quest Software.[4]
