Advanced setup options
The features described below require WebSite-Watcher 2022 (or higher) and are only available in the registered Business Edition and will not work in the Trial version nor in the Free/Personal Editions.
This topic shows how to automatically install the license key and how to pre-define certain program configurations. This can be helpful when installing and maintaining WebSite-Watcher on many PCs or workstations.
Automatic installation (for all users of a computer)
Before installing WebSite-Watcher, create an INI-File with the name wswconfig.ini and save it in the same folder as the file wswsetup.exe. When installing WebSite-Watcher, the file wswconfig.ini will be copied into the setup folder.
All options defined in the file wswconfig.ini file will be imported each time you start WebSite-Watcher, so it's not possible that a user can overwrite these options in the program configuration of WebSite-Watcher.
Manual installation (for a single user of a computer)
Alternatively you can manually copy the file wswconfig.ini into the users config folder. When WebSite-Watcher is started, this file will be imported once. This file will only be imported if the file wswconfig.ini is not available in the setup folder.
The exact path of this file is::
c:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\aignes\WebSite-Watcher\config\wswconfig.ini
wswconfig.ini
The file wswconfig.ini can have the following sections and fields:
[License]
