Hello,

I want to change client's registration key. It works fine when I debug in my pc, but when I deploy to the server it does not work.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot

In my mind, it's impossible, for security reaseon, to change registry value when the code is located in internet area.

It is working on your machine because you undoubtedly are an admin on the machine and have the permissions. Javascript will run within the browser on the client machine and browsers there will run within a security sandbox that will not allow certain functions, like accessing the registry. Think about, would you want any website you visit to be able to search and modify any values in your Windows registry?
