Registering and unregistering components in the DirectShow framework

In order to use them, filters must be registered in the DirectShow framework. After installation all filters are registered. To re-register or unregister components, execute the RegisterFilters.bat or UnregisterFilters.bat batch files from the SDK/bin folder.

Filter activation

Filters can be activated by installing a license key to windows registry or programmatically by setting a license key through the software interface of a filter instance. How to set license keys to unlock filters is described in the module's documents.
