You can install the Licence Protector DLL without registering it. This allows an installation process which does not require administration rights.

All compilers - use DLL without registering

You need a manifest file with the same name as the EXE file - e.g if the application file name is demo-easygo.exe the manifest filename must be demo-easygo.exe.manifest. Find below a sample manifest file which can also be downloaded here (sample is for version 2.64).

 

You have to change

 

•Name - name of the EXE file
•Version - version number of the EXE file
•File name = name of the Licence Protector DLL
•Size = size of the LIcence Protector DLL
•LIBID - can be found for each DLL version in the chapter Add the LicProtectorEasyGo.dll
•CLSID - can be found for each DLL version in the chapter Add the LicProtectorEasyGo.dll
•ProgID - can be found for each DLL version in the chapter Add the LicProtectorEasyGo.dll

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">

 

<assemblyIdentity name="demo-easygo.exe" version="2.7.0.190" type="win32" processorArchitecture="x86"/>

<file name="LicProtector270.dll" hashalg="SHA1">

     progid="LicProtectorEasyGo.LicProtectorEasyGo270"/>

 <typelib

</file>

 

</assembly>

 

 

Some development tools like C++ compile a manifest file in the EXE file. Then this internal manifest file is used (only with Windows 2003, Vista and later. Windows XP uses external files and not the internal manifest file. ). Change this manifest file (recommended) or deselect this option if you want to use an external manifest file.
