ABSTRACT:
A method for registering a software program and performing post-registration activities includes initiating a registration session for the software program; identifying a matching software program; selecting registration information stored in a memory, the selected registration information provided by a user during a previous registration session for the matching software program; and proceeding with the registration session based on the selected registration information.
In another embodiment, the method includes determining a current registration status of the software program based on a current date, a reference date, and a configurable post-registration activity period; and conducting the post-registration activity based on the status of the software program.
