Change Serial Number to Product Key

[Exin]

I just downloaded 11.5 professional trial version of the Advanced Installer. I need the dialog box, which asks for the serial number, to say product key or product code. This is what we have on all of our user installation documentation. Serial number sounds odd for an installation key. Is there any way to change this? If not, I would like to make a suggestion to change serial number to product key. Then it would be more user friendly and follow the industry standard.

Thanks

Hello and welcome to Advanced Installer forums,

Thank you for your interest in Advanced Installer.

You can easily enter the "Dialogs" page and select the "UserRegistrationDlg" dialog. On this dialog select the "Serial Number" static text control,which is customizable form the "Properties" panel which appears in the right side of the dialog. Just modify the "Text" field from "Display" section to anything you want.

Please keep in mind that in order to make any changes to a dialog you need the "Dialog Editor" feature, which is included in the "Enterprise" edition of Advanced Installer.

All the best,
Daniel

Thank you for the reply. That is nice you can do that in the Enterprise version, but I only need the professional one. Can't you make the default in the dialog say product key or product code. That is the industry standard, not serial number. I am not going to buy the enterprise version just for that one tiny aspect. I will keep looking for another solution. Thanks just the same though.

Hello,

I apologize for my delayed reply.

I've forwarded your reply to our developers team and it seems you can change the displayed text of the related control by using a Professional project type too. I apologize for my previous incomplete answer. You can do this by using the "Default Strings" tab from "Translations" page.

Here are the steps to proceed:
1. go to "Translations page -> Default Strings tab" and localize the "Control.Text.UserRegistrationDlg#CDKeyLabel" ID
2. edit the value of the "Control.Text.UserRegistrationDlg#CDKeyLabel" ID to your desired text (e.g. License Key)
3. click on the "Save changes in a dictionary from repository" hyperlink to save your change
4. save your project and re-open it in Advanced Installer (this step must be done due to an AI limitation - the localization ID's changed value is not loaded in project until reopening the project in AI)
5. rebuild and run the project

Let us know if this helped.

All the best,
Daniel
