1. What is the purpose of interface dll?

Interface dll contains default user interface resources for protected application.

You can use your own user interface dialogs instead of default ones (see custom dialogs feature) or completely manage user interface by using protection interface functions (see protection interface help for more information).


2. Under what conditions must I distribute the interface dll?

You should distribute PCGW32.DLL together with protected application if you are using any of the following protection methods:

    a) REMOTE protection method
    b) PASSWORD protection
    c) DEMO mode
    d) PLAIN protection method with "Display Site code" option.

3. Problems with using old version of interface dll instead of new one.

You should always distribute the latest version of interface dll together with protected application.

Protected application will detect if you are not using appropriate version of interface dll and display appropriate error notification.

4. Should I distribute main application (PCGWIN32.EXE) together with protected program?

No! You don't have to and you should not distribute it together with protected application as it is not required for successful execution of protected program.

5. Should I register interface dll with regsvr32?

No, there is no need for registering interface dll.

6. What about changing default name of interface dll?

This is recommended. You can even use different name for each project. The same goes for custom license filename.
