Disable usage statistics from code (.NET COM-interface)

My application started to crash after I updated to the new COM-interface for PDFCreator.
I'm using version 4.0.3.
The reason was the UsageStatistics. I disabled it in the UI, and it started to work.
Is there anyway of Disable usage statistics from code?

I did a workaround, I updated the registry settings from code before instantiating the PDFCreator objects.(Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\pdfforge\PDFCreator\Settings\ApplicationSettings\UsageStatistics).
That worked well. and I got rid of the crash and the System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException thrown from PDFCreator.UsageStatistics.
