EVERKEY New Release Status

The new "Production" release of Keshow.exe is now available. This means that all feature updates to the core internals have been frozen. This "freeze" had to be completed in order to finish the new versions of Kebuild and Kechk32.

The Kebuild program now uses a "tabbed interface" so it is really the only program that the Developer (or their Staff) needs to learn to use. You will now be able to Build Keys, Show Keys, Build Kechk Source, Build Renew Codes and Interpret Error Codes from this one program.

The final new program to be released will be Renew.exe. As soon as this program is tested and stable, we will bump the lowest version number and declare it non-Beta.

EVERKEY New Version Overview

The entire EVERKEY System is being completely upgraded to support the latest Operating Systems and newest cutting-edge Hardware. Plus the new User-Interface is written in a language and framework which not only supports Windows, but Mac OS X and Linux as well.

The new upgrade supports the Rockey4ND. This USB Key does not require ANY Device Drivers to be loaded before it's plugged in. That makes your Product simpler to use and should dramatically lower the number of Support calls.

Of course, the current Rockey4s (USB and Parallel) are still supported, but require Device Drivers to be installed. The AzRockey.exe program will do that for you.

All new programs now support Unicode UTF-16. This means that fields like "Description", "Name", "Company", etc. can be entered in the Developer's native language.

The initial release of the new version of EVERKEY supports all 32-bit and 64-bit Editions of Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 and Server. Future releases are planned for Mac OS X and Linux.
