You'll need to write the necessary functionality for yourself; it is not something built into VFP. If you're using Setup Wizard to generate your install, the Post Setup Executable provides a hook where you could launch an executable you wrote yourself to do the necessary registration recording, which you would then check during your application's startup. Alternatively, you could simply add code to your application to check and run the registration code if it does not find valid registration information. IAC, it's up to you to write the code for the job, and to record the information soimewhere that can be found later by your program; often, this type of data is stored in the registry.

VSI does not provide a Post Setup Executable hook; it's a transactional installer, so it doesn't let you add anything that it doesn't automatically know how to reverse out.

Several third-party installers such as InstallShield and Wise provide for customized registration dialogs in their install process; you might consider buying one that will meet your needs. If you don't use an installer, this is one thing that many commercial products offer that are not available in the free products.
