  4. Click OK, then click OK again to confirm.

Enterprise Deployment (Mass License Updates)

For large environments, license codes can be updated centrally without manual interaction on each workstation.

Registry Location

The license code is stored in the Windows Registry at:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FlexSoftware\FlexTerm

  • Value Name: License
  • Type: REG_SZ (String)

Deployment Options

You can update the license value using standard enterprise tools, such as:

  • Microsoft Configuration Manager (SCCM)
  • Group Policy (GPO)
  • Logon scripts or PowerShell
  • Other software deployment or scripting tools

Example .reg File

You can create a registry file to deploy the license:

  1. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

  3. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FlexSoftware\FlexTerm]
  4. "License"="XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX"

Replace the placeholder (X) values with your actual license code before deployment.

Notes and Best Practices

  • Administrator privileges are required to modify the system registry.
  • Always back up the registry before making changes.
  • After applying the license, verify it by opening:
    File → About → License in the Workspace.


Notes
Using these methods, you can efficiently apply or update license codes for individual users or across enterprise environments.
