How to enable simulation mode

In order to use Signature SDK, you need to have a physical signature capture device connected to the PC.

In case you don't have a physical device, you can enable simulation mode to use while developing your application. To do this, you need to:

1. Create the registry key shown in the table below in one of the following 2 locations:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Florentis\sd

   for 32-bit Signature SDK on 64-bit Windows

   or

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Florentis\sd for 32-bit Signature SDK on 32-bit Windows or 64-bit Signature SDK on 64-bit Windows.

    

   Name	Type	Value	Description
   EnableSimulation	DWORD	1	Enable/disable simulation of signature capture when a digitizer is not installed. For example, to run a signature capture demonstration with no digitizer installed, simply ensure this key has been defined as non zero in the registry: 0 (or not present) = disable non-zero = enable

2. Contact the Support team in order to receive a special license enabling the simulation mode. You can log a ticket for this by clicking the “Submit a request" link at the top of this web page.
