<ActivationKey>Enter platform activation key here</ActivationKey>
<AdminPass>Enter platform admin password here</AdminPass>
<PublicIp>
  <String>Enter Config IP address to bind on, cannot bind on DNS</String>

• Save the configuration in the settings file. User Access Control may prevent you from saving the file to the original location, in which case you will have to save it to an alternate location, then copy and overwrite the file to C:\ProgramData\Attix5 Pro\AS_Service.
