Disabling a Composer Player Pro License

Composer Player and Composer ActiveX products automatically use a PlayerPro license when available. You can disable this behavior to run Composer Player or Composer ActiveX without PlayerPro capabilities.

  • To disable the automatic use of a PlayerPro license, create a DWORD named NoPlayerProLicense with a value of 1 in the following registry key:

    To disable the automatic use of a PlayerPro license for... Use this registry key...
    A specific user HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Dassault Systemes\Composer\Players
    All users HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Dassault Systemes\Composer\Players
    All users (Composer 32-bit on Windows 64-bit OS) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Dassault Systemes\Composer\Players

    For convenience, you can execute the following files to disable or re-enable automatic PlayerPro license use for the current user:

    • Disable: <install_dir>\bin\DontUsePlayerProLicense.reg
    • Enable: <install_dir>\bin\UsePlayerProLicense.reg
