I'm using InstallShield 2009 > trialware feature. I create distributives, containing dll and exe files. Both files are protected by trialware. When program and dll are activated, program needs to know serial, which was used for dll-activation. It is very very important to get serial number. Because i assign to serial numbers different periods, when updates are enabled.
On WindowsXP i can find serial number in registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\[ProductGuid]\ProductID
But on Vista there is no ProductID value in this registry node! How can i get serial for product on Vista? Please help!
I don't have a Vista Machine in front of me, but is this a 64-bit version of Vista? If so, have you looked at HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\[ProductGUID]\ ?
Search Help for MsiGetProductInfoEx or REGDB_VALUENAME_UNINSTALL_PRODUCTID in order to get the value via script.
