In some cases, you may instruct the end-user to destroy the Harddisk
Key on his PC. For instance, you wish to distribute a new software version but
no longer allow the end-user to run the old version.
The end-user can destroy the Harddisk Key by using the Destroy utility
program. Once the Harddisk Key is destroyed, the program generates a
Destroy-Code. You can ensure that the end-user has indeed destroyed the
Harddisk Key by asking the end-user for the Destroy-Code and verify it.
1. Run LicenseKey Manager.
2. From the Tools menu, select Verify Destroy-Code. The Verify Destroy-Code dialog box
appears.
3. Enter the Destroy-Code you
receive in the provided field. Then, click the Verify button.
4. If the Destroy-Code is true,
the dialog box shows the date/time stamp, Program ID and User ID of the
Harddisk Key destroyed.
NOTE: The
Destroy-Code has the following format: <Registration ID>-<Code>.
<Registration ID> is the Registration ID of the destroyed Key.
<Code> encodes date/time stamp, Key ID, Program ID and User ID of the
destroyed Key. |
