Setting up automatic checkout of shared license

[Geert Bellekens]

We tried to setup some clients for automatic checkout of shared licenses, but apparently there's an error in the deployment whitepaper with regards to the registry settings needed to change.

In the whitepaper it says to set the registry key
"AutoCheckoutEx"=hex:1a,00,00,00

Whereas my tests revealed that it started working when we set the key to
"AutoCheckoutEx"=hex:02,00,00,00

I've sent an email to support about this.

The value required in the AutoCheckEx registry entry will depend upon the type of EA license that you want the user to obtain.

The value "hex:1a,00,00,00" is for getting an EA Ultimate edition license key.
The value "hex:02,00,00,00" is for getting an EA Corporate edition license key.

The registry settings on page 22 of the Deployment white paper use the value "hex:1a,00,00,00" as an example only.  The details of the values that should be entered into each of these fields are described in the table below that example.  There is an additional table on page 23 with a list of the possible license codes for the AutoCheckoutEx field.

My bad, I just didn't read any further.
