New in Version 4.x:

Changed to Keylib may also effect other libraries and LFEdit

Added PP_NETOPEN, PP_NETTEST, and PP_NETCLOSE to DLL/LIB for Network Broadcast Licensing

Added PP_SYSINFO to check the current system architecture: You can now detect and prevent your application from running on a VMWare virtual machine, a Virtual PC machine, or remotely through Terminal Services/ Remote Desktop client

Fixed issue if using Registry Key and string didn't conform to Registry Key syntax

Added error code in PP_COMPNO if COMPNO_BIOS64 is used on a non-x64 system

Updated PP_EZTRIAL2 (EZTrial2 in SKCLNET) so that the <flags> parameter is passed into SK_ProcEZTrig1 for online activations

Re-Added Late-Binding to IpHlpApi.dll for backwards compatibility with previous operating systems

Fixed problem with locating BIOS driver files (Machnm1.exe, Machnm32.sys, and Machnm64.sys)

Added Extra checking to see if BIOS driver (Machnm32.sys/Machnm64.sys) was installed before attempted to obtain the BIOS algorithm

Added PP_LIBVERSION in DLL/LIB interface. Allows checking the version number of currently loaded library

Updated read/write License File functionality to always keep the previous "Last Accessed" and "Last Modified" date/time of the physical file

Fixed problem where Windows XP File Cache was holding the file open during reboot or forcible program closure. This was causing problems where license file was becoming corrupt, or 0KB in size. Due to this fix, the write of the license file takes a second or two longer

Added LFALIAS_NOCACHE flag for PP_LFALIAS for compatibility with PP_LFOPEN's LFOPEN_NOCACHE flag

Fixed problem if the license file was marked as "Read-Only"
