We have problems with a few customers. We use SmartKeys with hardware id, the SmartKey is verifies correctly, but after relaunching it, they see that the program is still unregistered.

If you are using SmartKeys, you have to call WLRegSmartKeyInstallToFile or WLRegSmartKeyInstallToRegistry, as you might know.  

 

For restricted users or admin in Vista with UAC enabled, they cannot write to Registry root HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and for files, they might not have privileges for writing to the current directory.

 

So, we recommend you to change the place where your license will be stored in the Registry or file. So, you have to go to the Registration panel and if you are going to install the SmartKey into the Registry, please, use "HKEY_CURRENT_USER".

 

If you are going to install the SmartKey into file, then you have to change the "File License" name into one of the new defined constants. Please, refer to following KB entry.
