License Key Storage

KONNEKT searches for license keys in two registry keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\GlueckKanja\Konnekt\License (REG SZ)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GlueckKanja\Konnekt\License (REG SZ)

If a license key is set at machine level (HKLM), it will supersede a license key at user level (HKCU).

There are several options how you can configure the license key:

The preference menu sets the license for the current user (HKCU), only. Other users logging into the same machine would also have to set the license.
