A complete solution for shareware developers for handling the registered/unregistered state of applications and to automatically manage the registration process and database. The package consists of a component to be used in applications to enter the registration details and query the state of the registration and the other part of the package is the Registration Tool, that let you manage the MySQL registration database and automatically process incoming order e-mails and send out registration details (comes with full source code).

Multiple projects can be managed
The database system is designed for manual and/or automatic use
Registering a user takes a couple of seconds or the built-in automatic registration processing functionality for share-it order e-mails can be used
Automatic processing and sending of registration number and version code e-mails
Customize global or per application reply e-mail templates

Delphi 2009
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Express (or newer, Microsoft SQL Server 2017 Express also works fine)

Configuring the Registration Tool for MySQL server

Running the Registration Tool requires a valid database connection string (menu: 'Options/Settings...').
The only thing you have to take care of by default is the 'Data Source' property.
On Windows XP the '(local)' value seems working: 'Data Source=(local)' (this is the default).
On Windows 7 use 'ComputerName\SQLEXPRESS' value (change ComputerName to your computer name).
If you want to use a different MySQL server version, you'll probably have to adjust the 'SQLEXPRESS' connection string value to the one specified when installing the SQL server.

Basic steps for using the Registration Tool

When running the Registration Tool for the first time, it will complain about not being able to connect to the MySQL server.
1. Set up the database connection string as described above.
2. Select menu: 'Options/Create New Database...' specify the options and select a file name (note: on Windows Vista and up use a file name for which you have rights to create). Click 'Create New Database'. Close the window.
3. On the main window click on 'Project Manager...', the project manager will come up.
4. Click on 'Add New Project...', specify the options, specify the registration seed that you use with TRegistration in your program, and create a new project. Fill in the 'download url' which will appear in the created registration number e-mail for the customers.
5. Select the newly created project and click 'Add New SubVersion...'. Specify the version code seed that you use with TRegistration in your program.
Adding a new registration user:
6. Go back to the main window, select the newly created project and select a sub version from the combo box.
7. Fill in the ("Registration Info") name and e-mail edit boxes and click on 'Add'. A new registration will be added to the selected project.
8. Click on lower 'Send E-mail' button to send the registration number to the user.
If you are using Share-It as your registration processing provider:
6. Select all the e-mail contents that was sent by Share-It and copy it to the clipboard.
7. In the Registration Tool click on 'Add Share-It e-mail', the clipboard content will be processed and a new registration will be added to the selected project.
Sending out a version code:
1. When a user requests a new version code, identify the user by it's registration number (first 6 digits of the registration number is the users registration ID).
2. Make sure the correct sub version is selected. Look up the user and select the entry in the list.
3. Click on the upper 'Send E-mail' button to send the new version code number to the user.
Automatic processing of share-it order e-mails:
1. Select menu: 'Options/Settings...' and setup incoming e-mail account and outgoing SMTP account. In share-it's control panel set to send order notification e-mails to this incoming e-mail address. 'Sender e-mail address' will appear as the sender of the registration number e-mail for the customers. 'Forwarding e-mail address' will be used to forward all incoming e-mails set for the incoming account and also for warning e-mails if there was an issue when processing the incoming order e-mail.
2. To enable automatic monitoring and processing of share-it order e-mails click on 'Close' button in the lower-right corner of the main window. The Registraiton Tool window will be minimized to tray and will start monitoring the incoming e-mail account.
3. To pause the automatic processing click on the tray icon, the main window will appear and the processing will be in a suspended state until you click 'Close' again.
4. Note: The project name must match the share-it product name, or at least must be a part of it, eg. if share-it product name is 'My project registration', project name must be 'My project'. The compare is not case sensitive.
