Automatic Activation
When you rollout Liquid XML, you can create a string value called LicenseGUID containing your license key in the registry under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Liquid Technologies
When Liquid XML is run on the PC it should then automatically Activate the license against our server.
Note: The following file is created as part of the Automatic Activation process:
%PROGRAMDATA%\LiquidTechnologies\applications\AutoActivatedLicense
If you run this process a second time, you must ensure you first delete this file otherwise the LicenseGUID will be ignored.
Proxy Settings
From v12.2.1 onwards, you can also add Proxy settings to the registry as follows:
Note: If the following registry values exist then they take precedence over the settings in the user config.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Liquid Technologies\ProxyType
Value : (STRING) Setting this value overrides the users proxy configuration options, preventing them from changing proxy settings
NoProxy : no proxy, connections are made directly to hose servers
DefaultProxy : the proxy settings used by internet explorer are used
UserDefinedProxy : manual configuration of the proxy server is read from the keys ProxyUrl, ProxyPort, ProxyUsername, ProxyPassword
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Liquid Technologies\ProxyUrl
Value : (STRING) url of the proxy server
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Liquid Technologies\ProxyPort
Value : (DWORD) the port on the proxy server to use (i.e. 8080)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Liquid Technologies\ProxyUsername
Value : the username to authenticate to the proxy server with, can be left blank (stored in the clear)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Liquid Technologies\ProxyPassword
Value : the password to authenticate to the proxy server with, can be left blank
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Liquid Technologies\IgnoreInvalidSslCerts
Value : (DWORD)
0 : Invalid SSL certs will raise errors and prevent data being read (default, secure)
1 : Invalid SSL certs will be ignore and data can be read from sites with invalid certs (insecure but useful in a test environment)
Example .reg file
