Registering MenuBox

Limitations of the Unregistered Version

The command line options, which allow MenuBox to run in windowless mode with no conditional code, can be used with no limitations without requiring any software license details to be set.

The more advanced features made available through the configuration file may be used without purchasing the software or entering the license serial information, however in this case a small advertising window briefly appears each time MenuBox starts or exits.

The registered version of MenuBox offers the additional advantage of creating a unique publisher entity and namespace. The GetNV, SetNV and UniqueID features operate within this scope, which belongs exclusively to a given registered user and to its MenuBox applications.

After registration, projects can be signed with the Sign Project tool, which makes sure that the project can be redistributed as a registered version without the "Free Version" message, and limits the possibilities of tampering with the project itself.

Entering the License Key

To disable the "Free Version" message in the redistributable packages the license serial number must be entered during installation or in the Registration dialog which is accessible from the Start menu (in the MenuBox program group). The licensing information is automatically added to the redistributable files created by the MenuBox Wizard.

In case of manual editing (no MenuBox Wizard) of the MenuBox configuration file (named "menubox.ini" by default) which is distributed with MenuBox, the licensing information can be added or updated manually via the Sign Project tool, which writes this information to the Signature key of the [Publisher] section of the file.
