GUI-Based Product Licensing


 

100x100 GUI-Based Product Licensing

 


 

The installer runs as a privileged user, which means that the license will be placed in HKLM for all users, regardless of which user initiated the installation. When an installation is performed via the GUI, KEYDATA (the alphanumeric string that is the license key, as detailed below) can be pasted from the Windows clipboard into the installer:

 

GUI_Install_WithKey

Figure 1. PDF-XChange PRO Setup Dialog Box

 

The license key will be placed in HKLM (and encrypted) when installation is complete:

 

HKLM_GUI_Install

Note that a KEYFILE (XCVault file) cannot be used for a GUI-based installation.

 

Applying Keys Via the GUI

 

Paste the KEYDATA (alphanumerical license key string) into the Add New License Key/Activation Code dialog box to apply keys post installation via the GUI. This dialog box is available via the File>Preferences>Registration:
