Using the DH_KeyDelete Module
 

Removing Test Data from the Registry

As you build and test products, some test data will naturally accumulate in your Registry. You may want to remove this data so that you can start clean while testing, or just as a good housekeeping practice. A utility module, DH_KeyDelete, has been provided for this purpose.

Like the DH_KeyGen module, this module doesn't appear on any panel views, and works only in the main SynthEdit structure window. Clicking it displays the following dialog:
 

Click Remove, and any Registry entries from DH_RegControl that were created in the process of testing your projects will be deleted from the Registry. A message box like one of the following will report the results of the operation.
 

Normally, there will be 2 subkeys, but there could be 4 if you used DH_RegControl in demo mode before registering it. If no DH_RegControl entries from your projects are in the Registry, you will see the 2nd message.


Note that removing these subkeys removes the original installation date from the Registry, so distributing this module could give anyone the ability to renew the demo period for your VSTs indefinitely. (They would also need your registration information, because the module will only delete keys created in demo mode if it's not registered.)
