Syntax: register
(xtra "PrintOMatic",
serialNumber)
Returns: TRUE
if the serial number is valid
The register
command will register the PrintOMatic Xtra, once you license PrintOMatic and obtain a valid serial number. This will enable the methods for fully customizing your print job, such as setProgressMsg
and setProgressPict
. It will also remove those annoying "unregistered copy" messages from your print progress dialog and printed output.
The registration process only registers your copy of PrintOMatic temporarily. Your serial number is stored in Director's registry and might not be stored for any longer than the current Director session. If you re-install Director, move your movie to another computer, or use PrintOMatic from a Projector, the serial number will likely be unavailable the next time you use PrintOMatic.
Therefore, you should add the registration code below to the startMovie
handler of every movie that uses the PrintOMatic Xtra. This will ensure that PrintOMatic can always find its serial number when it needs to.
Example:
The following code registers your copy of the PrintOMatic Xtra for the duration of the current Director session:
register(xtra "PrintOMatic", "<your serial number>")
