CONAME=Pathname of company name file
The CONAME directive specifies the name and location of the file containing the A-Shell licensee name. On installation of A-Shell, the security key field is tied to a specific company name (the licensee company), which is stored in the file specified in the CONAME directive in miame.ini. This is done by prompting for the licensee when entering the security key after A-Shell is run for the first time:
A-Shell Licensee (company name):
The location of the coname file is specified in terms of its native operating system (e.g. c:\vm\miame\coname.dat) rather than in DevPPN format. You may, however, place it in a directory which also maps to a PPN to allow easy access from within A-Shell. For example, applications may read this file as a form of copy protection, since, although it is a straight text file, alteration of its contents will cause A-Shell to operate in demonstration mode.
Since the CONAME file must be shared by all users on a network, it must be placed on the server, and referenced either via a mapped drive letter or a UNC (\\server\share\path\coname.dat) name.
