Without a license key CrossTalk will run in "evaluation mode" and enforce certain restrictions. After purchaing CrossTalk, you will receive a license key. A license key consists of three parts:

  1. Registration name. This will be your name or your company name.
  2. Serial number
  3. Key String

Each of these three items must be entered exactly. To install the license key select the "CrossTalk Source Code" item in the CrossTalk program group. This opens a directory containing some linkable CrossTalk source files. In this directory you will find CTLicenseKey.inc. Open CTLicenseKey.inc in notepad or some other text editor. The default contents are shown here:

// This file will contain your license key information if you have
// a license key.
//
// This unit must NOT be redistributed.
//

  xName := '';
  xSerial := 0;
  xKey := ''; 

Insert your registration name and key string into the string literals, and change the xSerial value to your serial number. Save the file, and perform a rebuild all on your CrossTalk applications.
