Run off CD?

Post by hankster »

Is it possible to run TextPad off a CD? My job requires me to work on various PCs frequently and it would be easier if I could just run TextPad from CD.

It will work, but in unlicensed mode, as the license is stored in the registry of the client PC. That means you will get nagged to buy it every so often, but all functionality will be available.

There are other registry settings besides the license code.

So be prepared to install on each machine that you are using the CD on.

You will probably want to change configurations for paths to match the CD drive, but the letter may change from system to system also.

And depending on Operating System you may have some permissions issues if registry settings are not under correct user.
Hope this was helpful.............good luck,
Bob
