The EQuIS.exe.config file manages application configuration settings for EQuIS Professional. By default, the filepath is C:\Program Files\EarthSoft\EQuIS\EQuIS.exe.config for the standard installation, or %localappdata%\Programs\EarthSoft\EQuIS.exe.config for the per-user installation.

 

An excerpt of this file is included below.

 

The appSettings remoteFolder, userName, password, updateFrequency, and lastUpdate manage an optional feature for clients wishing to distribute updates from a central location managed by the client. The feature requires that users can modify installed programs and files.

 

EdpAllowEdit provides the ability to prevent users from modifying EDDs. The default value is True. Valid values are "", "True", or "False".

 

The useNetworkLicenses setting is not included in the standard EQuIS.exe.config file but can be added to the appSettings section, e.g.:

    <add key="useNetworkLicenses" value="true"/>

  </appSettings>

 

This setting determines how the EQuIS.exe file will search for licenses when logging into a database. Valid values are True, False, and Config with a default value of True. The Config mode requires a connectionString entry like the one shown below between the configSections closing element and the startup opening element:

 

  </configSections>

    <connectionStrings>

  <clear/>

 <add name="databaseConnection" connectionString="Data Source=;User ID=;Password=;Database=;pooling=true;Connection Timeout=600;" providerName="EarthSoft.Common.Data.SqlConnection" />

    </connectionStrings>

  <startup>

 

For details on the useNetworkLicenses modes, see the EQuIS License Features page.
