Generate Registration Keys

Generate the user registration keys. You can read more about how registration keys are generated in Generate Registration Key Dialog and Generate License Dialog.

Public - Private key pair actions

Perform actions that involve the public-private key pair used to generate the registration keys. The following options are available:

• Backup - backup the key pair. The key pair can be stored password encrypted.
• Restore - load a previously saved key pair. The encryption password must be provided.
• Export PEM - save the unencrypted key into Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM) format. You must take additional security measures for protecting this file (like encrypting it using a password) depending on your license server requirements.
• Reset - reset the keys.

If you reset the public-private key pair you will NOT be able to generate new registration keys for your older application versions. Also registration keys generated with the old key pair will NOT be supported by newer application versions.

It is recommended you create a backup of your Public-Private key pair if you want to be able to recreate a new project that will support the already generated registration keys or to generate new registration keys for the released programs that are using this Public key to validate the registration keys.

Serial Number

The license will be a serial up to 80 characters long and will contain an ID and a secure digital signature.

Registration keys can be generated before or after release and saved into a text file using the Generate Registration Key Dialog. You can distribute them when required.

The serials can be blacklisted to invalidate them in newer versions.

User specific customized license

When using this type of license you can opt for functions like:

• Maintenance Plan - license will contain a date which will make it valid only for versions built before that date, this means that the selected date will not be included in the Maintenance Plan.
• Expiration Date - the license will contain a date until it will be valid.
• Register Until Date - license will only be valid if used until a specific date. You should use this option if you want to generate beta-testing or promotional licenses.
• Computer Specific - license will be valid only on the system from which it has been requested. Your user will be able to request the license via email from the Registration page using the “Request License” link. You will receive the request in the “Contact” email address specified in the Licensing Options Tab page

The license will always include a secure digital signature.

You can also choose to include an ID into the license. That will allow you to blacklist a license in subsequent versions.

To further customize the license format you can use the Edit License Template Dialog.

After you have decided on the license custom format you can generate licenses using the Generate License Dialog.

When changing the license format the licenses generated using the older format will be invalidated.

Location

Specify whether the registration key information will be per-user or per-machine.

• Per user - Each user on the target computer user must register with its own registration key.
• Per machine - All users on the target computer users will be registered after any user on that machine have entered a valid registration key.

Key

The key under which the user registration key will be stored.

When registering into “Per machine” location, the application must have write access rights on the registry key having Local Machine as root.

Name

The name of the registry value that will hold the registration key. The default registry value is specified by the empty name.

Trial ID

The trial info stored on the target machine is bound to this ID. If on the target machine the trial info is found for the specified trial ID, then the trial info will not be installed. Thus the trial ID can be changed in order to start trial for a new product.

Library Key

This text is the library key you must provide when you use the licensing library inside your application.

For Trialware Java applications the Advanced Installer Java Launcher uses this code when initializing the licensing library so you don't need to make any code change to your application.

For sample code on how to integrate the licensing support in your non application please see the Licensing tutorials.
