 -Shareware License Key Manager(tm)- version 1.0.0
 A POWERFUL WINDOWS programming TOOL for shareware developers

The Shareware License Key Manager TM is powerful library for shareware programmers, who want to have their program controlled by a key demo time, and number of users accessing theirs programs. The LM32.DLL can be easily linked with any application and with only one single call the application is under the key control system. 
From the key code, the license manager APIs allow to find information as: 
 Key type (Demo, Final, Upgrade)
 Number of licensed days, Number of licensed users, 
 Number of days the program is running.  
The most important components are available for the shareware programmer with only a few APIs.
A personalized checksum and a program id, insures that for every program a unique key is generated.
The LM32.DLL is FREE for use, it has no limitation of time, and can be tested with the Demo key delivered with the package. 
ITD commercialize the package 2 different way:
 ITD sells software keys personally generated for your program, 
 and a key generator program which can generate unlimited number of custom license keys.

The License Manager APIs are simple to use, enabling very fast integration of controlling software designated to the shareware market, with a limited number of running days as a demo. An "easy to use" key system can turn than the demo version into a final release. 
This simple License Key management is not a key system against computer piracy. However it enable controls as: manipulating the clock of the computer, installs automatically, at the first time the software is running, recovering automatically if computer pirates manipulate one of the hidden components. 
Even if the software which is controlled by the key system was removed and reinstalled, the clock does not stops ticking, and the real number of days from which it started to run the first time can be retrieved.
After that is up to the programmer to decide the action to take as, stop or let it run.
The sample program delivered with the package can be easily rebuilt, and shows how simple it is to integrate this simple but powerful license key management.
