When creating a new Product Access Code, the IDProductRegistrationCode must be left blank.  The Deleted column should have a value of TRUE or FALSE (TRUE if the access code should be deleted).  The IDAccount can be used to link the Product Access Code to a specific account.  To link the Code to a specific Account, enter the Account ID in this field.

Allow cart users to anonymize data

Important! This configuration can only be enabled by a Configio Super User. To have this feature enabled, please reach out to Configio Support.
