Installing Product Registration Keys

Registering your product involves installing the Signature Product Registration Application, then enabling your registration keys.

If you already have the Signature Product Registration Application installed (prior to the 2016 release), you must uninstall before installing the latest version. Refer to the Readme to ensure compatibility of the registration application.

You only need to install and enable registration keys on your server machine(s). This process does NOT need to be performed on client machines.

Before you begin, locate the registration key text file that was provided with your software. This file contains your personal product registration information. You must browse to the location of this file in Step 2.

System Requirements

The Microsoft Dynamics GP requirements for the following products must be met on every server machine where the Signature Product Registration Application will be installed:

• Internet Information Services (IIS)
• Microsoft .NET Framework

To find a complete list of system requirements across all the Signature modules, refer to Signature System Requirements.

Installing the Registration Software

If you already have the Signature Product Registration Application installed (prior to the 2016 release), you must uninstall before installing the current version. Refer to the Readme to ensure compatibility of the registration application.

You only need to install and enable registration keys on your server machine(s). This process does NOT need to be performed on client machines.

1. Launch the file Signature Registration xxxx.exe. On the Welcome screen, choose Next >.
2. Accept the terms of the license agreement, and choose Next >.
3. Accept the default installation location, or use the Browse... button to find the folder where you want the Product Registration application to be installed. Choose Next >.

Enabling Registration Keys

The first time you open the Signature Product Registration application, the Signature event log folder will be created on the server. To ensure that this folder is created successfully, this application must be run with administrator privileges the first time.

1. Choose Start > Signature > Signature.Registration.Entry. If you are opening this application for the first time, right-click and choose Run as administrator. The Registration Key Entry window opens.
2. Enter the User ID and Password for the "sa" user.
3. Use the drop-down menu to select the SQL Server Instance and System Database where Signature is installed.
4. Enter a Runtime Password for the registration user.
5. Enter the Server Name, and use the drop-down menu to select the Virtual Directory where the WSRegistration Web service is located.
6. Locate your registration key (.TXT) file that contains your registration information.
7. Choose Register. You receive a notification message when the registration key is validated. Choose OK. When you log into Microsoft Dynamics GP, make sure to test all the Signature menus to make sure you have proper access. If, when you log in, your Signature menus are disabled, contact WennSoft Sales to obtain a new registration key file.

About Registration Key Tables

The Signature Product Registration Application creates two tables in the system database.

• WSRegKey
  Created when the product is registered (using the Registration Key Setup application).
• WSRegistrationSettings
  Created upon initial installation and contains the location of the WSRegistration web service.
