- After successful purchase the reseller will send an e-mail with registration keys to address
specified in Order Form. Format of this mail will be similar to this one below (keys are
surrounded with red rim, black rectangulars inside keys are there intentionally):
- Copy keys from mail and run a "Register" option in WinGDB menu. Then choose
"I have purchased a license key but not registered yet" and click OK.
-
Each key is intended to be assigned to one machine (node-locked license)
via registration. In case you have bought upgrade license, insert base key and all
upgrade keys (only one key per line). Keys can be distributed among all users, so
each user can register in this way:
Please remember to choose correct WinGDB configuration (combo-box at the top of dialog),
otherwise registration will fail.
In case of WinGDB 2.0 or later, please choose appropriate edition during installing.
To change edition, reinstall the product and select different edition in the installer.
-
However registration system is flexible and the whole bulk of all numbers can simply be passed
to every user, as if it were a single key. During the registration, the system will automatically
pull the first free key from the list, for each new machine it recognizes (registration system
uses hardware info from the network card and the CPU).
Please remember to choose correct WinGDB configuration (combo-box at the top of dialog), else
registration will fail.
In case of WinGDB 2.0 or later, please choose appropriate edition during installing.
To change edition, reinstall the product and select different edition in the installer.
-
After keys have been copied click OK. If chosen WinGDB configuration is compatible with passed keys,
there will appear "Registration mail submission" dialog:
-
License request data from previous dialog should be copied to mail-client automatically (with use of
"Open e-mail client") or manually. The window with contents of request in mail-client should look similiar
to this one below (recipient address should be
license_request@wingdb.com):
Please send that e-mail to license_request@wingdb.com,
best without any additional text.
-
Within 24 hours license server will send an answer. Copy the text surrounded with red
rim (including both tags LicenseInfo).
-
Run a "Register" option in WinGDB menu. Then choose "I have registered, but not activated my copy yet"
and click OK.
-
Paste formerly copied text and click OK.
-
After successful registration license file will be saved to disk. Its location will be
visible in dialog.
-
Restart Visual Studio and you can use WinGDB without any limitations. To confirm
whether registration has succeeded check About dialog.
