Hi,

Is there any way to verify Subscription Key from my own application (written
in Clarion :) )?

I need just to pass "Subscription Key", "Verification ID" and "Encryption
Password " (like it does in SB6 the Verify Subscription Key function) to
that procedure and it should returns me Subscription state...

Hi Gennadi,

Absolutely no problem. Write a small "wrapper" application with
SetupBuilder 6 and pass the key to it. Then return codes for subscription
valid, subscription expired, subscription invalid, etc.

Hmm... BUT how I can write a small "wrapper" application with SetupBuilder
6? Could you provide more info please?

Will it be "external" application or dll which I can link to my app?

If it is "external" application how strong it? I mean anybody can write some
"bypass" application and returns "good" return code...

thank you,
Gennadi

This will be an external .exe.

As strong as a Dll would be <g>. From the technical point of view it does
not make a difference whether it is a .exe or .dll ;-)

I see. BTW it would be better to have some dll/lib to link into my
application.

Genadi,

Attached are two scripts sb.6 I use for checking validity or expiration
dates etc .... or even downloading from site latest version and comparing to
local version etc ...

You can do all with SB6 (except what I now have to do : get a cup of freshly
brewed cofee!<BG> - and even then maybe one day :)

Private email sent to you ....
