Where should I store the .dat file at deployment time...

Hi,

I've got the activation all working with my test licence .dat file and your demo app. All great (and very easy too). I'm on VS2008 (unfortunately) and all I had to do was make a couple of changes to the VB.NET TurboActivate.vb file to get it to compile.

Now, a quick question. Where should I store the ".dat" file?

f I put it in the "Program Files\App" folder will I not encounter "read/write" permission problems on Win7/Win8 ?

I do have another app specific folder in "My Documents" but I don't want to put the TurboActivate.exe/dll in that folder.

What do you recommend?

ThanksMark

P.S. Apologies if this has been asked 100 times before but I did search the forum and got no hits.

In your program's binary folder (next to TurboActivate.dll on Windows or next to the application that's calling libTurboActivate on all other platforms).

No. TurboActivate.dat is a read-only file. It's never written to.
