Do I need to put the new registration number into the INI?

[Scott]

The Public Web Browser site license is a subscription based registration. The registration number has the date encoded into it so you will need to update the registration number in the INI file before your current license expires. When you receive your new registration number, there are a variety of ways to update the registration number in the INI file depending on how you have implemented PWB and how your network is arranged.

You do not have to change the number on each computer if you are using a shared INI file from a server. If you are using a shared INI file you can change the registration number in the single location.

Otherwise:

The easiest way is to "push" a new INI file through the hidden Windows Administrative share (C$) on Windows NT/XP/Vista.

PWB Register is a console application that can be run in a PWB Startup script or a Windows logon script to update your INI file. It is available on our Downloads page.

The following need to be setup in the INI file before hand, so they will not work this time but moving forward they would.

You can use the Auto Register online system that allows us to assign you a permanent customer number that will automatically update your registration number. The Auto Register system is available in PWB v2.09 or newer.

You can enabled the "JavaRegister" Dynamic External Java Command in the INI file. This will allow you to update the registration number through a JavaScript on a web page.
