Recommended license & trial coding

Hi all,

I am looking forward to make an application complaint to the Windows VIsta
Software Logo Spec 1.1.

Till now an administrative user always had full access to the registry. Now
with UAC, write access to most parts of the registry needs to be requested. I
have found a way to get this level of access, but the Logo guide tells me to
only require this kind of access if necessary.

This makes trial & license coding difficult. So am I searching for
alternative ways to implement trial and license coding which does not require
administrative access. Thanks for any hints and ideas

Hello,

My suggestion would be to set your hidden licensing information durring your
program's setup, which should be running with full admin permissions (i.e.
you are probably installing it to program files).

Once installed, your program (running as a UAC 'standard user') will have
read-only access to the licensing information set durring setup.

Then, when the user registers or changes thier license, have a secondary
program / com component that requires admin permission to change the
registry setting.

This way, you only use admin permission when absolutely necessary - when you
are changing licensing information.
