Hello,
Not really sure where the best section to post this is so sorry if this is the wrong place.
I have found the following site;
https://skgl.codeplex.com/
that offers a free dll file used to generate and validate licence keys, which I would like to use in my application.
I am running on RS 2011 R3.
I am not sure firstly if it is even possible for me to use this dll file to generate and validate licence keys for my applications. Secondly if I am able to use it, I have not done anything like this before so a bit lost on how to do it. So any advice would be a great help
edit:
forgot to say that i am coding on windows and the application will be for windows only
Isn’t that written in VB?
You could copy it to Xojo, maybe make some changes and publish it as a class to public.
I think it has been written in VB, I am currently installing visual studio. Im guessing that I can open the dll in visual studio to see the code and copy it across to RS?
no.
just go on the website and read the source code there. (as I did)
No Visual Basic needed.
ah cheers, i didnt notice that section on the site!
I’ll have a look through it but it looks a bit over my head

It is not a guarantee, but VB DLLs can be used in Xojo given they expose COM objects. See http://www.xojo.com/blog/en/2014/01/accessing-net-code-from-xojo.php
