We have devleoped a software package that runs under Micro-Soft Windows.
To prevent unauthorised use we use a "security key", ie a small device that
plugs into a port on the PC, which our software periodically checks
is still there, if it is not our application exits.
This worked fine with Windows version 2 but causes Windows 3 to crash
the first time it checks for the key. We notified the supplier, who
knew of the problem and said a fix was on the way. That was last november
and apparently no fix has yet been found. We have customers waiting for
a Windows verison 3 version of our software and so we are looking for
other suppliers of similar devices. Could anyone who uses or knows of
a key that works under Micro-Soft Windows version 3 running in
386 enhanced mode please mail me.
We are currently using a SentinelPro from Rainbow Technologies.
