PowerTCP SSL Sockets for .NET

License Installation

Your PowerTCP License Agreement provides you with a single-seat development license and the right to distribute PowerTCP classes with NO ROYALTIES of any kind. Some PowerTCP classes are marked as licensed. This topic covers:

Trial Installation

Installing a PowerTCP product as a fully–functional trial involves running the trial setup program (available from www.dart.com). PowerTCP Trials are now separate installs that do not interfere with already installed licensed products. Proceed to step 2 of Installing a Fully Licensed PowerTCP Product when you are ready to license the product.

See Trial Operation for more information.


Installing a Fully Licensed PowerTCP Product

Once you have downloaded the latest version, complete the following steps to register your PowerTCP product.


If you have Internet Access on your development machine, please follow these instructions:

  1. From the Start menu, select Programs, select PowerTCP, select the PowerTCP product you downloaded, and then click License Registration.
  2. In the Dart License Registration dialog box, click Install.
  3. Click the Online Registration button.
  4. Enter required information, including Serial Number, First Name, Last Name, and Organization.
  5. Click Next.
  6. Enter your Email Address, Purchased From, and Purchase Date information.
  7. Click Next.
  8. Verify that the information is correct, and then click Next.
  9. When the registration process is complete, click Exit. (Note: Clicking Done at this step displays your currently registered PowerTCP product. Click Exit to complete the registration process and close the dialog box.)

If you do not have Internet Access on your development machine, please follow these instructions:
  1. From the Start menu, select Programs, select PowerTCP, select the PowerTCP product you downloaded, and then click License Registration.
  2. In the Dart License Registration dialog box, click Install.
  3. Under Option 2, enter your serial number in the Serial # field.
  4. Write down the number in the Key field.
  5. On a machine that has Internet access, log on to the Dart registration page (http://www.dart.com/register/).
  6. Enter all required information. The Key is the number written down in Step 4.
  7. Click Submit. A seven-digit registration code should appear.
  8. Back on the development machine (the machine on which Steps 1-4 were completed), enter the seven-digit registration number obtained in Step 7.
  9. Click Add.
  10. Click Exit.

After either of the two registration procedures are complete, your PowerTCP product appears in the Registered Tools field at the top of the registration form. Make sure you recompile your application after you register the PowerTCP product.


Re-installing a PowerTCP Product

The Key provided by the Registration Program is derived from a system number that is changed when the C: drive is reformatted. If you reformat your hard disk and need to re-install your PowerTCP product, follow the steps in Installing a Fully Licensed PowerTCP Product. A new Registration Number will be generated.


License Details

When you insert a PowerTCP component into a project, most development environments verify that the class is licensed for development. The component will work if you correctly entered the PowerTCP product Serial Number. See Installing a Fully Licensed PowerTCP Product for more information. When you compile your application, the development environment requests this Serial Number and embeds it in the application. When users run your application, the application submits this Serial Number to the class and the Serial Number is checked for validity. If the Serial Number is correct, then the application runs. This verification process occurs automatically.
