Help Noob with custom license.txt?

[bigkahuna]

Hi all,

This is my first project with NSIS, and I have a super easy first install to complete. The only problem I've run into is that the license.txt must be less than 1024 characters and mine is over 9000. I searched the forum for answers and read about the custom license plugin and installed it. But now I can't figure out how to make it work in my script. Here's my script so far, can anyone help??

Thanks for adding a sample to my page. It never crossed my mind when I uploaded it a few months ago. Will be updated soon.
