Mass updating without touching each workstation:

For large deployments, it may be desirable to update the Flex Terminal Emulator license code without visiting each machine to use one of the above methods. Most large organizations utilize Microsoft Configuration Manager, or similar technology, to deploy and manage applications on user's desktops. The Flex Terminal Emulator license code is actually stored in a registry key within the following location of the Windows registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FlexSoftware\FlexTerm

The License string value found at the above location in the registry contains the license code that was entered during installation, or updated using one of the above methods. Any scripting technology may be used to update the data string in the License registry key. Alternatively, you may create a registry file with a .reg extension containing the updated license code, then import into the Windows registry. For example:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

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

Replace the X characters above with the Flex Terminal Emulator license code provided by FlexSoftware.
