In order to activate NotesToPaper, a registration key is required for the following program modules:
- NotesToPaper Setup
- NotesToPaper Designer
- NotesToPaper Print
- NotesToPaper PDF
The registration key consists of an alpha-numeric code.
Note: The registration keys CANNOT be substituted. A NotesToPaper Setup key can NOT be used for NotesToPaper Print and vice versa.
Note: Each version of the products has its own key. Any key is only valid for the actually licensed release and NOT for future versions.
Note: In order for NotesToPaper to be installed and run on a server, you will require a special NotesToPaper server license with a special server registration key.
Key conventions
A key is made up of 22 characters according to the following conventions:

Note: Please always double-check the correct key information. The key information is case insensitive.
Saving the key
During a standard installation the registration key is saved in the configuration file of the "partial-product".
NotesToPaper Setup => NTPSETUP.INI (Notes-system-directory)
NotesToPaper Print => NTP.INI (Notes-system-directory)
NotesToPaper Designer => NTP.INI (Notes-system-directory)
NotesToPaper PDF => NTPExp01.INI (Notes-system-directory)
Both the configuration files are in ASCII text format and are standard Windows .INI files. The registration key is contained in the following section of the .INI files:
[RegKey]
Key=PP-80-01234567890ABCEF
KeyDesigner=PD-80-01234567890ABCEF
Changing the registration information for NotesToPaper Print and NotesToPaper Designer
The physical key information for NotesToPaper Print and NotesToPaper Designer can be modified via Lotus Script. Two options are possible:
1. Setting a key file
2. Directly setting the key
1. Setting a key file
By use of the command NTPSetKeyFileName (or NTPSetDesignerKeyFileName), it is possible to set a file which contains the key information. The file must be made up according to the conventions set forth in "saving the key". If such a file has been set, then this key will be used at runtime for licensing.
2. Directly setting the key
By use of the command NTPSetKey (or NTPSetDesignerKey) the registration information can be set for NotesToPaper Print. Thereby the key has to be set in its complete format (including separators).
Example NTPSetKey ( "PP-80-01234567890ABCEF" )
Sequence of the key check procedure
As NotesToPaper offers a range of options to set the key information, a priority sequence has to be installed. The following shows the sequence (for NotesToPaper Print) of the key check procedures (from left to right).
NTPSetKey -> NTPSetKeyFileName -> Setup-file (INI-file) -> error message
