Registering your plug-in by entering your license information in the plug-in configuration screen will sometimes fail due to permission issues (i.e. forgets the registration or cannot create registration) file on the installation computer. When this happens, typically it can be resolved by logging in with an account that has administrative permissions and then conducting the registration.However, in cases of a networked computing environment that uses centralized authentication and application servers, there can still be problems with the permissions that prevent the plugin from storing and retrieving the necessary license info. The best resolution in such a case it to register the plug-in by using the plug-in’s built in registration function call.
From a startup script in your database, simply call the plug-in with the registration function and pass the necessary license code parameters. That way every time the database is opened the plug-in will be automatically registered.

With the release of FileMaker 10, many of you have been asking about the compatibility of our FileMaker plug-ins. We are happy to report that both Events 4.5 and eAuthorize 5 have been tested with FileMaker 10. The tests confirmed that both plug-ins will work with FileMaker 10. Happy days!Events 4.5 can it work server-side

Yes!Server-Side Script Triggering with a Client-Side Plug-In…
First, it *is* possible to set up server-side scripting in FileMaker Server 9 and FileMaker Server 9 Advanced with the Script Scheduler, but you are limited to only those script steps that are web-compatible. Opening and closing files, importing and exporting records, and printing (among many other script steps) are not web-compatible.
If you need to perform file maintenance or batch processing/printing tasks during off-peak hours *and* need to perform script steps that are *not* web-compatible, Events 4.5 could be the solution for you!
Here are a few tips outlining how to make Events 4.5 work server-side:
1-Install a copy of FileMaker Pro 7/8/9 (client) on your server.
2-Install the Events 4.5 plug-in on your server (in the FileMaker Pro 7/8/9 client’s Extensions folder).
3-Place the “Events Manager.fp7″ file–included in the Events 4.5 download package–on your server, *but* not in the FMS9/FMS9A Databases folder.
4-Add your desired events to the “Events Manager.fp7″ on the server (mark them to “auto-load” and leave this file open 24/7).
This method of server-side scripting with a robot/drone file can also be used with earlier versions of FileMaker Pro and Events 3.0.
