Software key Application Builder LabVIEW 8 vs. LabVIEW7.x

[TCPlomp]

Hi All,

in LabVIEW 7.x you had with the application builder the option to generate a 'software key' to register your application in Windows. Now I can't locate this option in LV 8. Do I Have to register these keys manually with the new registry settings I can edit?

Thanks in advance,

Ton

It does appear you need to add your own key manually.  However, the "HKLM->Software" key is already laid out for you, and this allows you to add a key for your company under the "Software" key, a product key under that, and values for that product key.  From a registry perspective this is the more correct way of creating a proper registry key, but a wizard would have potentially been nice.

Hello Danny,

thanks a lot, do you happen to know what info I MUST enter in the registry?

Goodby,

To my knowledge you aren't required to enter ANY information into the registry.  If registration information is required for your program (if your program reads the registry information) then you definitely need to add whatever your program requires, but otherwise none is necessary.
