Product Registration Tool for international customers (R5.0.5)

An international version of the Product Registration Tool (LotusProductRegistration.exe) will begin shipping in the R5.0.5 Global English Windows 32-bit client kits. This tool will also ship in the localized Windows 32-bit client kits. (This is the product registration screen that appears following a client installation.) The Product Registration tool was disabled in R5.0.4 because R5.0.4 was the first Global English kit to be distributed world wide and the earlier version of the registration tool was for North America only.

Bypassing the tool

Because the LotusProductRegistration Tool now includes several files to support localization, it is no longer stored at the root of the Install CD, but is compressed in the .CAB files. Thus, the procedure for bypassing the tool has been changed. To bypass the product registration tool, which is normally launched at the completion of install, use the "/noreg" switch in the following manner:

In addition to this change in registration, users that did not use the /noreg switch, will have the option to run or not run the registration tool in the last dialog box of the installation.

Additionally, the user can skip the registration process when the registration checkbox on the final install screen comes up.
