UpdateShield System Files

The Updater (UPDSHL10.EXE) is an agent that is based on the DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) technology. It acts as a DDE server to wait for a request from the protected application (the client). To interface with the Updater, the protected application needs the following system files: EKC3220.DLL (32-bit) and EKC6420.DLL (64-bit). These system files must be included with the protected application and placed in the same directory as the protected program file.

 

The following table lists the needed system files based on the application type.
