The SB manual explains how to generate serial numbers and subscription keys. I also have discovered how to get the SB install program to ask for the subscription key and allow the user to install it.

The manual does not tell how I can then call the subscription checker from within my application (NOT SB) to run the same validity check. Is there a DLL that must be called? If so, what is the EXTERN declaration and what parameters are required?

I notice in here that some users talk about putting a "Check for Updates" selection in their product menus. Great idea! How do you do it? What gets executed when they click the "Check for Updates" button in MY program, not the one in the SB6 menu? What parameters need to be passed? etc.
