EverKey VB WinForms .Net4 Example Program for Using the KeyChk DLL

Written Using Visual Studio 2010

Last Revised: November 9, 2014

  Overview

    The Example program can be used to demonstrate how to access
    the Key and test its behavior.

    It uses a Product-ID of "Examples" and Product PIN of "375391873".
    The Product-ID is usually a short version of the Product Name.
    The Product PIN is different for each Product and should be
    treated as a Company Secret.

    To make testing as easy as possible, we have already built the
    x86 and x64 Example program in the Release folder.
    All you need is a Key with the same Product-ID and Product PIN
    that the Example program is expecting.

  Here's how to create the "Examples" Key:

      1) Install EverKey or download KeyBuild from Az-Tech.com.
      2) Run KeyBuild.  Go to the "Build Keys" panel and
         click the "Reset To Defaults" button.
      3) Plug an EverKey Rockey4ND (or Rockey4) into a USB port.
      4) Click the "Build Keys Using These Options" button.
      5) When the "Build Keys Summary" dialog appears,
         click "Build Keys".
      6) You now have a Key with a Product-ID of "Examples" and
         built with a Product PIN of "375391873".

Using the Example Program

      1) Plug the Rockey Key into the computer where EverKey
         is installed.
      2) Run KeyShow.exe to ensure that the Key has a "Product-ID"
         of "Examples".  If not, use KeyBuild.exe to build the Key
         as described above.
      3) Navigate to the "Release" folder for this Examples program
         and run the program "Test_KeyChk.exe".
         If you are using a 64-bit Edition of Windows, you can
         run the program "Test_KeyChk64.exe".
      4) Clicking the button labelled "Do KeyChk Function 1" will
         call the KeyChk DLL to perform a Key Check without
         updating the "Uses Limit" of the Key.
      5) Clicking the button labelled "Do KeyChk Function 2" will
         call the KeyChk DLL to perform a Key Check AND
         subtract "1" from the current "Uses Limit" of the Key.

To Build Your Own Example Program

        1) Start Visual Studio 2010 or later.
        2) Open the KeyChk_VS2010_VB_WinForms_Net4.sln solution.
        3) From the menu bar, set the "Solution Configuration"
           to "Release" or "Debug".  The "Solution Platform" will
           be automatically selected by the next step.
        4) In the Solution Explorer pane, right-click either
           "Test_KeyChk" or "Test_KeyChk64" and select "Rebuild".
