Changing inGOT from Admin mode to Scan mode

Information in this article applies to:

- All versions of inGOT

SYMPTOMS

InGOT running in Admin mode cannot be changed back to Scan mode.

CAUSE

This behaviour is by design.

Under normal circumstances there should only be one instance of inGOT running in Scan mode. Having multiple copies of inGOT scanning the same proxy log files and updating the same inGOT database may cause unpredictable results. However it is possible to have multiple copies of inGOT running in Admin mode.

In Admin mode, inGOT is limited to only allow 'cashier' type people to update users' funds and other admin related tasks. Please see the inGOT Users Guide for more details.

It has deliberately been made difficult to change inGOT from Admin mode to Scan mode. This is to ensure an Admin mode instance of inGOT is not inadvertently changed to Scan mode, causing multiple instances of inGOT to run in Scan mode.

RESOLUTION

To change inGOT from Admin mode to Scan mode a registry entry change is required:

1. Exit inGOT
2. Load Regedit
3. Open the inGOT registry key (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Liverton\inGOT)
4. Locate and Modify the 'Mode' Value name
5. Change the value data from 1 to 0 (zero)
6. Close RegEdit
7. Restart inGOT.
