administratorConfig.xml

The configuration file can contain one or more of the following settings:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<AdminConfiguration>
  <SigningCertificateThumbprint>--thumbprint--</SigningCertificateThumbprint>
  <EncryptionCertificatePath>--pathname--</EncryptionCertificatePath>
  <SignatureFormat>--option--</SignatureFormat>
  <LicenceKey>--jwt.license-string--</LicenceKey>
</AdminConfiguration>

Signing Certificate Thumbprint:

To use a pre-installed certificate for signing, use its thumbprint to identify it. The thumbprint can be viewed in properties in the Windows Certificate Manager (Certmgr.msc), for example:

43aee632f5e1066ac006ca1550f82f91ff5867dd

EncryptionCertificatePath:

To enable signature encryption using a pre-installed certificate, supply the certificate pathname, for example:

<EncryptionCertificatePath>c:\cert\cert.cer</EncryptionCertificatePath>

Note that the sign pro license must also be Encryption enabled.

SignatureFormat:

Selects the signature format as FSS (default) or ISO, for example:

<SignatureFormat>ISO</SignatureFormat>

Note that the sign pro license must also be ISO enabled to use this option.

LicenceKey:

To set the sign pro license during installation, include the full license string here.

<LicenceKey>jwt.license-string</LicenceKey>

The string is the value which would otherwise be pasted into the Upgrade dialog in About.

Licensing Mode

The standard installation includes the Lite Mode license. See Settings...About:

Lite Mode excludes the use of:

Authoring mode
API operation

To upgrade the license, select Upgrade:

A new license will be supplied as a JSON Web Token (JWT) text string. The license can be applied, either from a text file using Browse, or by using copy and paste into the dialog. Once applied, the additional functions will be available.

To inspect the supplied license, paste it into the JWT viewer https://jwt.io/.
