Running on a network

Top  Previous  Next

In this section we will see how AVLockGold works into a network.

(This was not tested yet into the .NET platform, but I hope this will work)

 

icon8 Testing the demo2 program into a network

 

1. Locate the executable file and the avconfig.ini file into a given network directory.

 

2. Select a computer into the network to be the MasterComputer.

and select the user for this computer with administrator privileges

who will be the Program Administrator.

 

3. Ensure that the program never did run into the network

   If you aren't sure then remove the RegFile into the executable

   directory, if any, and delete too the local Registry Key.

   These tasks can be done with the AVLockManager or RegMonitor Utility.

 

4. Run the program.

 

You will see the standard registration form on your screen.

5. Register the program.

 

Open the AVLockManager utility, select the Demo2 application, Go to the Users & Keys tabsheet, create a new user, enter the correct InstallCode and enter a number for MaxUsers (e.g. 2). Then generate a KeyFile for the 5 Modules as we saw in the "Working with modules" topic.

 

With the "Load from file" button load the  KeyFile, then register the application with the [Register] button.

You will be promted to enter your name and company.

 

nameform

[Continue >>] button.

 

Next you will see a message with the registration result.

Click the [Ok] button, immediately you will see the Demo2  Main form.

Up to here everything  happens exactly just as  in a single computer, 

which is the difference? The difference will come only when you  run 

the program  in  a computer different than  the MasterComputer

 

6. Running the program in a  RegularComputer

 

Choose another computer into the network and run the program from there

 

When you run the program on a network the first time on a given computer,

and the RegFile already exists, then that computer will be marked as a

RegularComputer with a value m=1 into the local registry, and its user as a regular user.

 

The behavior of the program for a regular computer depend of the value for the GetLocalTrial option. 

 

For GetLocalTrial = False

 

All regular computers will run exactly as the MasterComputer.

There will not be necessary registrations, and all new modules registered

on the master computer will work automatically in all regular computers too.

 

For GetLocalTrial=True

 

The first time the program runs into a regular computer this will start with

a trial period. The data for this trial period are stored into the local registry.

The registration for a regular computer is different than the master computer,

there you will see a changed registration form. Below, you may see the new

look for the "To register now" section. Here you should to enter the same

user name and RegKey used for the main module (module 0) when you

did register the master computer.

Once registered a regular computer, this will work at the same way that when

GetLocalTrial = False.
