Table 24-6: Software Identification Tag Settings (cont.)
Setting Description
Software Creator ID Enter the registration ID of the organization that created the software. This ID helps to
differentiate between different legal organizations that have the same creator name but
are in different countries.
This setting is optional. If you leave this setting blank, InstallShield uses the value of the
Tag Creator ID setting for the software creator ID.
The convention for the registration ID is as follows:
regid.YYYY-MM.ReversedDomainName,division
The registration ID consists of the following parts:
• regid.—The string regid indicates that the XML portion is a registration ID for a
software identification tag. A period (.) must be included after this string.
• YYYY-MM.—This part of the registration ID identifies the first full month (MM) and
the year (YYYY) in which the domain name was owned by the tag creator. For
example, if you are creating the tag and you purchased the domain name February
15, 1999, you would use 1999-03 in this part of the registration ID, since the first
full month the domain name was owned was March (03), and the year was 1999.
The year and month must be separated by a dash.
• ReversedDomainName—This part identifies the reversed domain name of the
organization that is creating the software identification tag. For example, for the
flexerasoftware.com domain name, the reversed domain name is:
com.flexerasoftware
• ,division—This optional part starts with a comma (,), and is followed by an
additional string. You can enter a string that helps to distinguish between different
divisions or areas of the organization. If you do not want to use this optional
distinguishing part of the registration ID, do not include the comma or an additional
string in your entry.
Software Licensor Enter the name of the organization that owns the copyright for the software.
This setting is optional. If you leave this setting blank, InstallShield uses the value of the
Tag Creator setting for the name of the software licensor.
