[carlm]

hi guys:

i recently changed the names of some computers at work. The pastel 12 stops working and when i change it back it starts working again. All the computers that have pastel are just client pcs. the pastel server has not been changed. how can changed the names of the computers and fix pastel after that.

thanks.

Hi carim. I think that Pastel uses the name of the computer in the configuration of it's registration code. If you change the name of the computer you will need to re-register Pastel.

Hi There

Once you have changed the computer name you can go into regedit >> Hkey_local Machine >> Software >> Softline >> "Your Pastel Version" for 32 bit machine, for 64 bit the path is regedit >> Hkey_local Machine >> Software >> WOW6432NODE >> Softline >> "Your Pastel Version". When you open "your pastel version" you will see the old computer name, delete this then register the package as a workstation.

Hope this helps
