Dat File Name

Hi there!I want to install in the same CPU two applications, each one with its Key, VersionGUID, etc.How I can distinguish one dat file from another?Thanks.

How I can distinguish one dat file from another?

You can't (at least not easily). Can you tell me a bit more about what you're trying to do so I can give you useful advice? That is, are you trying to do something like a Basic and Pro version both in the same code? Or is it something else entirely?

We have several applications and need a license for each one and in some cases our clients need 2 or more applications installed on the same CPU.

Or what other information you need to be able to help me?

OK, in this case just create a product in LimeLM for each of your products. Download the *.dat for each and include it with each of your apps. Then, somewhere in your code, embed the GUID specific to each one of your apps.

Does this help?

I'm testing on Windows XP and both the DLL and the .DAT file put them on Windows/System32. In my tests, if the .DAT is not on the same carpet than TurboActivete.dll, this one does not recognize it. My problem is: I can not have two TurboActvate.DAT on Sys32 at the same time. What am I doing wrong?

Don't put the TurboActivate.dll and .dat files in the system folder. Put them in the same folder as your application. For instance, let's say you have 2 apps. Each app will have TurboActivate.dll in the folder and its own copy of TurboActivate.dat. For example:

C:\Program Files\YourApp1\                          YourApp1.exe                          TurboActivate.dll                          TurboActivate.dat


C:\Program Files\YourApp2\                          YourApp2.exe                          TurboActivate.dll                          TurboActivate.dat

Yes, you'll have a copy of TurboActivate.dll in each of your app's folders, but frankly it's not that big. Plus you avoid DLL hell situations where one version of your app expects certain output from TA that was subtly changed in the version of TA included with your other app.

Does this make sense?

I think that works for us (lets see what thinks my boss).

Thank you very much.
