[solved] licence key from registry not working

[alesovodvojce]

Hi,

we have just bought 50 licences of TC for our company.

We would like to have licence key in Windows registry, as TC supports it.

But it does not do anything on TC 8.52(x64)

Licence is here

Code: Select all

HKCU\Software\Ghisler\Total Commander\key
HKLM\Software\Ghisler\Total Commander\key

and for certainity (because of 64bit windows registry caveats, also here):

Code: Select all

HKCU\Software\Wow6432Node\Ghisler\Total Commander\key
HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Ghisler\Total Commander\key

We suspected the BIN2HEX conversion for regedit as a culprit (have used recommended HEX conversion from forum here) and few other techniques.

Still nothing, TC says it is unregistered. Any ideas?

KeyPath=
Path to the registration key (WITHOUT the file name!). As a default, Total Commander looks for the key in its own directory. Useful if key cannot be read over a LAN.
With KeyPath=$, TC looks for the key in the registry (binary value "key" in "Software/Ghisler/Total Commander" subkey).

(highlighted the relevant sentence)

Did you set this in wincmd.ini?

Indeed I forgot that. Fixed and it is working now.

Thanks @Dalai for quick help!
