OK, once again: I don't want to write any files! Just reading. But it seems, that reading also doesn't work. I just got some feedback from a customer. This should have been a temporary solution until the MAXON developers fix the WritePluginInfo bug. I prefer the crypted way to store such data, because this way you can store time periods for demos etc. If you write such data to normal files, the user just can delete it and gets a new demo period.

Got an answer from the developers.
**
Bool ReadRegInfo(LONG pluginid, void* buffer, LONG size)
Bool WriteRegInfo(LONG pluginid, void* buffer, LONG size)
**These two functions were specifically introduced with R11 to write the plugin info to the local registry. Please use them in a license server enviroment.

Hi,
has anybody got it working under a license-server environment using Read-/WriteRegInfo ?
For me it still does not work..
Using a non-License-Server setup Read-/Write RegInfo seems to work fine though..

I don't have a license server available. I have stressed the patience of my customers enough, I think. So by now I have implemented the solution reading/writing the license data from/to the user pref dir. This works fine and it's easier to manage several licenses. One customer has three different multi licenses(!).

Hey guys,
I am using my plugins folder here for everything (without problems so far). The dev kitchen is also a bit unclear concerning the modification of the plugins folder. on page 2 it says explicitly
"C4D application folder can't be modified
anymore (with the exception of "plugins") "But on page 5 it says:
"Data can't be written into your plugin
directory anymore"Hä? So, this is not very clear! As I said, I didn´t encounter any problems so far and no customer of mine did either.
Just wanted to mention this, though it seems to be save to use the prefs folder now.
MultiLicense also seems to be a pain currently, an easy interface class would surely make sense for future releases of the API. -

did you test it with the license-server running, or without it ?
When i test it at home without the license server runing,
using Read-/WritePluginInfo works fine.
When my customer uses it with the license server, it doesnt work for him..I know this sounds strange and would mean that Read-/WritePluginInfo only works faulty when a license server is running..
Maybe the error is somewhere else in my code, but thats why i need to confirm that you also tested it successfully with the license server running..
thanks!
Daniel

Hi,
just to confirm this, everything is working fine now.
The problem i had in my last post was due to something else.So as far as i can see, there's no bugs with registerung a plugin under a licenseServer environment, and its actually quite easy too.
thanks all.
Daniel
