Did you try it like this?:
"1A6S52-01C0000-GG000GM1315991252639482340"

I am trying to get access to the computer to get the full path for the registry. The actual code I want to use is in the attachment.

The path is Local Machine/Software/Crystal Decisions/9.0/Crystal Reports/Keycodes/CR Ent

Try the attached reg file. I've tried it and seems to work fine.
code.reg

One sec.....is it a new string value you're adding?

Ivano Viola

The above reg file adds the code a DWORD value.
The one attached to this post adds it as a new String Value (named: code). You can change the name (Code) by opening the reg file with notepad and changing the name.
code2.reg

Ivanoviola, I am trying to add this value. The one I listed above is what it turns into and I do not want to add that. This is a new string. The attachment below is the value I needed added unchanged.
