Description
Stores registration on Mac in preferences file of FileMaker so the plugin can auto register itself on startup of FileMaker.This is very useful for trainings where you want to preinstall license on FileMaker installations.
Added Windows support in plugin version 4.4.
You can clear the license with ClearRegistration function.
Added Linux support for 7.5.
Saves in preferences file on Mac and Linux, saves to registry on Windows.
To store the registration on a FileMaker Server permanently, it is sufficient to call the StoreRegistration function only once by opening a file (e.g. the Registration.fmp12 file) with a OnFirstWindowOpen-Script and a single line of code like this: Set Variable [ $r; Value: MBS( "StoreRegistration"; $name; "Complete"; "5 seat"; $date; $code) ].
After opening it once and thus writing the registration file to the preference file, it can be closed and removed from the server.
Examples
Stores registration:
$r = MBS( "StoreRegistration"; $name; "Complete"; "5 seat"; $date; $code)
