When MapInfo Pro is started by double-clicking on a registered file type such as workspace (*.wor) or table (*.tab) it checks the value of a registry key to determine whether to run in Viewer (subscription) mode or normal mode.
The registry key is located at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MapInfo\MapInfo\Professional\1700\CloudVersion, andHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\MapInfo\MapInfo\Professional\1700\CloudVersionIf the HKEY_CURRENT_USER key exists, it uses that value, else it looks for the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE value.
If the value of the CloudVersion registry key is = 1, MapInfo Pro is started in subscription mode.
If the value of the CloudVersion registry key is = 0 or the key is not present, MapInfo Pro is started in normal licensed mode.
To switch the default value of this registry key, there are two files installed in the same
location as where MapInfo Pro is installed.
- DefaultToFullPro.reg - Default to normal licensed mode.
- DefaultToSubscription.reg - Default to Viewer (subscription) mode.
