How to Change the LV Registration Name & Company Name after LabVIEW Installation

[MakOnTrack]

Hi,

I recently installed LV12.0 on my Office-PC, but it didn't specifically ask me regarding User-Name / Company Name.

Now when I start LV, the Getting-Started WIndow shows some default names corresponding to the OS-installation on PC which are not meaningful.

How can I change them to more meaningful ones?

Specifically, I got hold of the WIndows-Registry Entries corresponding to these here:

Is it fine if I manually edit the RegisteredOrganization, RegisteredOwner entries ?

I'm going to guess that the reason you are asking about adding the keys is that you ran the VI that is attached to the article. One thing to note is that if you look at the block diagram you'll see thta the code is looking for keys related to V7 of LV.

In the initial subkey string change where it says 7.0 to 12.0 and see what you get.

I am sorry to say - that's not the reason I asked.

I would like to repeat my purpose: to edit LV Registration & Company Names to more meaningful ones.

The VI attached in the article just reads these entries - within LV. (It does work with the change you mentioned)

I wish to over-write them. (Be it using LV's in-built 'Registry-Access VIs' or manually using Windows 'regedit' - that question is secondary).

Primary question is: Is it OK to over-write them ? Can I be sure that it wont corrupt the installation ?
