Upgrading to ActivEdit 4 ASP on shared hosting

Some notes about upgrading a shared hosting environment with ActivEdit

This document details how to setup ActivEdit 4.0 for ASP on a server running multiple versions of ActivEdit.

Suppose you have clients that want to use ActivEdit 4.0, but you still have clients that are using ActivEdit 3.0 or 2.5 on the same server.

There are a few ways to to handle this problem. The first way is to tell the ActivEdit 3.0 users to invoke the object CFDEV.Activedit.1 instead of CFDEV.Activedit. ActivEdit 4.0 customers may use the object CFDEV.Activedit or CFDEV.Activedit.4

If you want to set up your server such that calling CFDEV.Activedit runs ActivEdit 3.0 (forcing ActivEdit 4 users to call the object as CFDEV.Activedit.4) then change the value of the registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CFDEV.Activedit\CLSID

to: {01CFD601-656F-44BA-9224-EECCBC541BD4}

Here are the clsid's for the ActivEdit object for reference:

3.0: {01CFD601-656F-44BA-9224-EECCBC541BD4}
4.0: {08647d3a-d4d7-4d56-b498-2577e09a1047}

As always becareful editing the registry, incorrect changes may cause problems.
