Brief practice with demo's

Top  Previous  Next

Before to use AVLockGold into your software it is convenient to do a brief practice with the demo applications included in the package. First of all see where is located these demos into your disk,  open your file explorer, then if you did install the package ito the default folder you will see the following scheme:

 

C:\AV_Soft

\avlockg5

\bin

\samples

\delphi

\demo1

\demo2

\demo3

\demo4

 

There are more folders but we will consider only these. Please see into the demo folders, e.g. \demo1:

 

\demo1

avconfig.ini    | configuration file generated by avmanager

avusers.ini     | users file generated by avmanager

avlock.eng      | english text messages used by AVLockGold

avlock.spa      | spanish text messages used by AVLockGold

demo1.bdsproj   | project file for BDS2005/2006

demo1.dpr       | project file for D4..D7

demo1.exe       | exe file

demo1.res       | resource file

unit1.dfm       | form file

unit1.pas       | source file

 

As you can see there is included the exe file, so try with double click over this file. Immediately we can see the AVLockGold registration form. Press the [Continue] button, then close the app. See again the demo1 folder, there are two new files:

 

7XR1LDH4.avc    | the ControlFile

7XR1LDH4.avr    | the RegFile

 

These are files that was generated by AVLockGold the first time that the app was run. Click over the links to see more about it.

 

Now go to the \avlockg5\bin folder and see the files held into

 

\avlockg5

\bin

avmanager.exe      | the AVLockManager utility

config.exe         | the Configure utility

keygen.exe         | the KeyGen utility

regmonitor.exe     | the RegMonitor utility

applications.ini   | generated by AVLockManager

config.ini         | generated by AVLockManager

 

Double click over the avmanager.exe file to execute it. Immediately bring up his main form. Select "Demo1" from the combo into the Applications section and see his configuration into  the "Settings" tab: There the assigned AppID is 12345671 and "Registration data stored in" assigned with "Registration File", see too that "Registry Root Key" is set with HKEY_CURRENT_USER, this allow to common users to access to the registration data. For more information please see the section about the AVLockManager utility. Note that the app also can be run with the [Run] button from the avmanager utility.

 

Without close the avmanager run the RegMonitor utility from \bin\regmonitor.exe and enter the required data into the top section, immediately you will see below the registration data.

 

There are two ways to remove the registration data (unregister the app); either, with the [Unregister] button from the RegMonitor or from the [Unregister] button into the AVManager. Do it and see how the registration data disapear from the screen. Now the app was initialized and his status is as the first time before you ran it.

 

You can repeat this experience with the other demo apps, you can delete the exes and compile new ones with your Delphi IDE and you can too review their sources in order to have an anticipate notion about how to implement AVLockGold into your programs.
