The User Name field may be filled
with the name provided for the customer.Protect your publication: If you do that, you will be able to upload your compiled publication to the Internet. You could also upload place your publication to bulletin boards, place it in a public library or encourage users to give a copy to others. Of course, if you want to give it away freely, you do not need to lock the publication at all.
Once your publication has been locked, access to all its pages is available only to the person who has been issued the registration key. If the customer gives a copy to a friend, your product automatically falls back into its "freeware" mode, with access restricted only to the pages you want to show to the unregistered users.
To have access to all the pages of the publication, the user must enter a registration key (it is like a password), which can be of three different classes:
1 - Simple:
Based on: User name + Publication title:
The customer's registration key is generated from his name, the publication title and the editor's secret Key.
2 - Fixed:
Based on a fixed key, that can be any word or number.
The customer's registration key is the Fixed key specified in the Fixed key field. Different Fixed keys can be set on different pages of the same publication.
Optionally a Fixed password list may be used, to avoid users sharing their passwords.
3 - Secure:
Based on: User name + Publication title + I.D. Number
The user's registration key is generated from his name, the publication title and an I.D. number unique for the user's computer where the publication has been installed.
After your users bought the publication, you can generate the registration key through the Generate a Registration Key... command in the Registration menu (You can also generate the registration keys automatically from your website. Learn more).
The User Name field may be filled
with the name provided for the customer.
The Publication Title field must be the publication title.
You have to select on what is based the registration key. Select here the method you used when compiling your publication.
If you chose I.D.+u.name+p.title method, the Identificatory Number field must be filled. The user must provide the number.
The Registration Key will be filled automatically when the OK button is pressed.
A registration key generated with Use expiration date checked will expire when the data in Expiration Date is reached (see also Registration key with expiration date).
If Add to database is checked, all the information filled in this screen will be saved in the Users database.
Note: The registration is generated using only the first 12 characters of the Publication title and User name. Example:
Title: The secret path to knowledge I Name: John Stuart
and
Title: The secret path to knowledge II Name: John Stuart
Will produce exactly the same Registration Key.
