A lot of configuration files (e.g. the file for the licprotectorws.config) are in xml format. You can edit this file using any editor like notepad or Word. As an alternative, there is a nice freeware tool for xml files, which you can download here.

Start the XML notepad and select File, Open. You then see the XML file content, which is structured. The content can be easily modified and saved.
