Creating User-Specific Certify Client Configurations

Administrators can create user-specific Certify client configurations to point to different databases.

This feature has no impact when you upgrade, execute from a Command Prompt window, or integrate with other tools.

If no user configuration file is present, Certify uses the default Certify configuration file in the Client directory.

On the Certify client, open the following directory:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Worksoft\Certify\Client
Copy the Worksoft.Certify.exe.config file.
Paste the configuration file in the following directory:

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Worksoft

Note: If you have trouble finding this directory, open Certify and select Help > Show Log > Show Certify Log Folder. After the directory opens, close Certify.

Copy the following text:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<configuration>

<appSettings>

</appSettings>

</configuration>
Open the Worksoft.Certify.exe.config file in the Worksoft directory.
Delete all existing text in the file.
Paste the above text into the file.
Save the file.
Open Worksoft Certify.
From the Certify menu, select Configure > Certify > Database and Licensing.

The Certify Configuration Tool opens.
Verify that the user-specific configuration file appears in the Configuration File field.
Configure Certify with the Certify Configuration Tool. For more information, see Configuring Certify Databases and Licensing.
After you have configured the product, click OK.

A message opens stating that you need to restart Certify to save your configuration.
Click Yes to close Certify.
Open Certify.

The Certify Configuration tool updates the Worksoft.Certify.exe.config file in the Worksoft directory with the saved configuration settings.
To verify these changes, select Help > Show Log > Show Certify Log Folder to view the updated Worksoft.Certify.exe.config file.
