Settings File

The settings file stores preferences and Administrative settings used by the application. This includes elements like custom text file schemes, job preferences, and datasource filtering.

The settings file is a set of preferences and settings for the machine, but they can also be customized per user.

Network licenses require a signed setting file. This adds a digital signature to the settings file. The settings file must have a valid signature for the Geographic Calculator to work with a network license. This is the method that enforces Administrative Settings that have been locked-down for users by an administrator. A signed settings file is sent to the administrator with the network license file. For more information about signed settings files see Network License Configuration Appendix A - Sharing the Settings.JSON, Data Source, and Vertical Height Files
