problem: DXBase cannot find the key and therefore stays in Trial mode.
solution:
The software cannot handle the automatic placement of the key in both the 32
bit and the 64 bit registry.
Therefore it is necessary to make a modification to the 64 bit registry in
VISTA 64.
BACK UP THE REGISTRY FIRST !
1) go the system prompt
2) click on "start search" and type in regedit and do a "enter"
3) go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and click on it
4) find the folder "Wow6432Node" and in it place a new folder "Scientific
Solutions" and into this one another " Dxb2007"
5) in that folder create a new entry called "Key" (you will have to rename
the new key#1 into Key)
6) go under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to the existing 32 bit folder that says
Scientific Solutions and under Key copy the text string associated with it,
7) go back to the new folder created in the Wow6432Node as Key and past the
text value into it.
8) close the registry
Restart DXbase2007 and it will work.
