It is possible to have just one Multimedia Player installed and use this Multimedia Player with different MMF (data) files.

 

If you have a menu application as an EXE file, it might be useful, to start a specific database. The menu.exe file would be on the CD/disk (outside the database) and start each database individually.

 

Example

The project has been divided into several databases. A menu application now invokes for each menu item another database.

 

Start the the Multimedia Player with the parameter -f filename.mmf

 

Sample: c:\programs\myapp\flash-demo.exe -f c:\programs\app2\powerpoint.mmf

 

The license file can either be stored on the folder of the mmf file (recommended), but also on the folder of the Multimedia Player.

 

License File

By default, the Multimedia Player will search for a license file with the name of the database file. If this license file is not available, a license file with the name of the Multimedia Player is used.

 

This is necessary to cover the following scenarios.

 

•You deliver one Multimedia Player, several database files and one license file. All database files will use the same license. The license file should have the name of the player - Example: flash-demo.exe, flash-demo.lic , a.mmf, b.mmf, c.mmf
The license file should be stored on the folder of the Multimedia Player

•You deliver one Multimedia Player, severial database files and for each database a license file. Each database requires an own license. The license file should have the name of the database file - Example: flash-demo.exe, a.mmf, a.lic, b.mmf, b.lic, c.mmf, c.lic
The license file should be stored on the folder the database

You can also open a database by clicking on the file in Windows file explorer. A database file has the extension MMF.
