Chris, I've answered your post at www.Lavausergroup.org.
I've used those keys alot. Using the shell is a big no-no for lots of reasons - least of all becuase it does not work! One scenario I shutter about is what happens if someone pulls the key out while your app is running and the shell collapses the environment on which you code is running? Not a robust implementation. Hardware can be damaged and customer upset. There are and I have "LabVIEW" drivers which allow you to call the key and decrypt a string - you can then in LabVIEW check if the key is present & decrypted the string correct - then decide what to do. I'd be happy to help you out. Regards Jack Hamilton Hamilton Design Consulting 714.839.6375 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.HamiltonDesign-Consulting.com Home of Lab-Useful: LabVIEW Tips,Tricks and Downloads.
