It requires write access to a user's HKCU registry so as to set an "Activated" flag for that user. This is the second step in the process of getting a user up and running with an already installed license.Īctivation is always a per user process. Per user keys must be applied post install and from within a user session, be it scripted or manually via the application GUI.A Per user key cannot be applied during installation as the elevated rights users required for the installer does not have access to HKCU.A Per User key is one stored in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Tracker Software\Vault.A per machine key is one that is stored in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tracker Software\Vault.One can apply a key per machine or per user.One can apply a key during application installation, or post install.

Installing a license key results n the key being stored in the Windows registry in either HKLM, HKCU, or both. This is the process of passing a license key (as a file or string) to any of our products. Getting a fully licensed instance of the software is a two step process, the key must be installed on the device and subsequently activated by every user. The process of installing/applying a license key to a device is distinct and separate from activating it for users. Activation involves setting a flag in a user's HKCU registry, as such can only be done as the target user. It cannot be done for "All Users" on a system under any circumstances. I have installed the software with a valid license key but now I can’t find a way to activate the key for "all users".Īctivation is always and in every case a "per user" requirement.
