A new method is added that helps to identify and acquire the valid signature of Ethernet adapters.

The HTML Dialog Box feature is supported where the machine has Internet Explorer (IE) version 6 or above installed. The system can now detect the version of shdocvw.dll, a DLL of IE. If the version is below 6.0, the system automatically switches to use the default dialog box.

The NetKey agent (Nkag20.exe) uses the ICMP protocol to ping the NKLS server to ensure the connectivity before making a connection. This helps to reduce the timeout when the NKLS server is down or no longer connected to the network.

The NetKey License Server (NKLS) now supports for running on Terminal Services. Note that only one process of NKLS is allowed at a time, either the console or the Terminal Services session.

The InstantProtection function of the KeyCheck API now supports the end-user utility to register, transfer, and destroy license.

The fix solves the problem that, in some machines, the system does not return an expected value when detecting the Key and causes the error message "Invalid Key (Disk)".

The ClassLibrary folder is renamed to 'Library'. In the Examples folder, the example programs and example codes are reorganized for easier access.

The Destroy utility added the option to allow the user to destroy the license and confirm it instantly online. The destroy code will automatically be sent to the Activation Server for verification and confirmation.

Instead of using the registration/activation dialog box provided by the shell protection, you can now enable the option to load an external activation program. Simply set the system configuration file (KCAPI.INI) as follows:

[Registration]

Application=activation.exe

When running the protected application for the first time with no Key installed, it will load the activation program as specified in the KCAPI.INI file.

In LicenseKey Manager, the checkbox 'Evaluate' and 'Re-evaluate' are provided. With 'Evaluate' enabled, the issued evaluation License Key allows the user to evaluate the protected application once. The user cannot extend the evaluation period by using another evaluation License Key. If you want to allow the user to extend the evaluation period, enable 'Re-evaluate'.

The improvement enables the Updater (UPDSHL10.EXE) and the AutoUpdate .NET component (Upd.Comp.DLL) to connect and download updates from the Local Update Server.

The fix solves the problem that, in some machines, the application protected by shell protection cannot perform automatic online activation.

The ElecKey system is improved to detect VM and to solve the problem that the protected application might give the error message "Access violation".

The utilities in the ElecKey suite added auto-validation to validate the license when performing software update.

The KeyCheck Class Library for Delphi is updated to support Unicode string used in Delphi 2009.

The fix solves the problem that HDLG20.DLL was not found when running the application from VB6 IDE.

The added ReactivateLicense method allows the protected application to reactivate the license when the activation account is already activated.

A new method has been added which gives the protected application alternatives to acquire and detect computer hardware signatures.

The shell protection is improved to solve the issue that some anti-virus software might mistakenly report the protected application as a Trojan.
