Worldwide licence renewal and licence keys update

We are using RAMDisk worldwide licence for unlimited devices and the free updates will be ended by this year.

After renewing the licence, do we need to re-enter the licence key for each user? If so, is there any automatic method / script that we can deploy the key to client PCs without re-installing the software?

In addition, do we need to re-enter the licence key after software update?

Thank you.

There is no need to re-enter the licence key for the current version of the application to continue functioning after renewing the licence. However, if you plan to update the software to a newer version, it is possible that the new version will not accept the existing licence key on that machine, if the new version was not covered but the previous key. In such cases, we recommend updating the licence key beforehand on all machines.

The licence key is stored in the following location:

%PROGRAMDATA%\RAM Disk\ramdisk.xml

You can update this file across multiple machines without reinstalling the software. The relevant section in the file is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ramdisk>
  <config>
    ...
    <license>licence-key-code-goes-here</license>
    ...
  </config>
  <mount/>
  <autorun/>
</ramdisk>

When updating the licence key this way, remove the BEGIN/END markers from the key to avoid any issues. You can deploy the updated ramdisk.xml file via a script or Group Policy to all client PCs. Please ensure that the RAM Disk software is not running when updating the file to prevent overwriting.
