(regapp "ADESK_4153322344") "ADESK_4153322344" (regapp "DESIGNER-v2.1-124753") "DESIGNER-v2.1-124753"
Note: It is recommended that you pick a unique application name. One way of ensuring this is to adopt a naming scheme that uses the company or product name and a unique number (like your telephone number or the current date/time). The product version number can be included in the application name or stored by the application in a separate integer or real-number field; for example,
(1040 2.1).
