# Registry Config (License)

Unlike other 2Pint products, where you might add the key to a configuration file or config editor, for iPXE Anywhere Web Service, you will need to update the registry.  iPXE Anywhere Web Service has several items in the registry which when in the registry supersede what is in the configuration file, and some items, like the license key, are no longer used in the configuration file.  We know this isn't ideal, and in the future, all settings for all 2Pint products will have their own Config Editor Tool to standardize configurations.

### Registry

**Location**: HKEY\_LOCAL\_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\2Pint Software\iPXE Anywhere Web Service

Most of these items are set during the installation of the 2Pint iPXE Anywhere Web Service, and match up to a field you were prompted to configure during the installation.  Each time you upgrade and run through the installer, these settings are overwritten by the installer, so it's always recommended you backup this registry KEY before upgrading.

It's recommended that for the License, you keep it blank in your config file, so you remember to update it in the registry.
