>>snip ...
>problem: DXBase cannot find the key and therefore stays in Trial mode.
>>solution:
>>The software cannot handle the automatic placement of the key in both the 32
>bit and the 64 bit registry.
>Therefore it is necessary to make a modification to the 64 bit registry in
>VISTA 64.
>BACK UP THE REGISTRY FIRST !
>>1) go the system prompt
>2) click on "start search" and type in regedit and do a "enter"
>3) go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and click on it
>4) find the folder "Wow6432Node" and in it place a new folder "Scientific
>Solutions" and into this one another " Dxb2007"
>5) in that folder create a new entry called "Key" (you will have to rename
>the new key#1 into Key)
>6) go under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to the existing 32 bit folder that says
>Scientific Solutions and under Key copy the text string associated with it,
>7) go back to the new folder created in the Wow6432Node as Key and past the
>text value into it.
>8) close the registry
>>Restart DXbase2007 and it will work.
