- IMPORTANT NOTE TO rKey USERS :
-
- RkPlus is NOT compatible with rKey! If you have written a program using rKey,
- you will have to make several changes to allow it to compile and run under
- RkPlus. The following are the major differences between RkPlus and rKey :
-
- (1) RkPlus uses 12 alphanumeric characters to build keys.
- rKey used 12 hexadecimal digits.
-
- (2) RkPlus allows up to 3 strings may be used in key encryption.
- rKey allowed only 1.
-
- (3) RkPlus now allows an optional expiration date to be embedded in the key.
-
- (4) RkPlus groups all Registration information into the Reg record.
- rKey had individual variables.
-
- (5) RkPlus returns result codes in the enum Status (in the Reg record).
- rKey returned results in the booleans RegError and RegStatus.
-
- (6) The MakeKey and ValidKey functions require additional parameters in
- RkPlus (to allow for the new features).
-
- (7) The Register procedure has been replaced by SaveRegInfo in RkPlus, which
- uses information in the Reg record (rather than parameters).
-
- (8) RkPlus features the additional procedures SetRegInfo, CreateKey and
- VerifyKey. SetRegInfo allows you to load information into the Reg
- record in a single statement. CreateKey and VerifyKey are higher-level
- versions of MakeKey and ValidKey. Both uses information in the Reg
- record and VerifyKey returns result codes in Status (in the Reg record).
-
- (9) The RkPlus registration key file has the extension of .REG.
- The rKey registration key file had the extension of .KEY.
-
- If you don't feel that you need these enhanced features, a new smaller
- version of rKey is also available (as RKEY14.ZIP).
-
- If you have already registered any version of rKey ($10 or more), you can
- register RkPlus AND rKey for $10. If you have not yet registered rKey, you can
- register both for $20.
-
- If you have any trouble converting to RkPlus, feel free to contact me via any
- of the methods listed in RKPLUS.DOC.
