Few notes about plug-in constraints
Returns version string of the active 24U SimpleHASP Plug-In, formatted as requested by the parameter.
| Name | Datatype | Condition | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| versionFormat | string | [enum] | Defines the format of the returned version. |
| "short" | To get just the version number. Default value. |
| "long" | To get the plug-in name followed by its version number. |
| "platform" | To get the platform of the code currently running. |
| "autoupdate" | To get autoupdate compatible (comparable) version number. |
This function is very important and it has the same output format in all 24U Plug-Ins. You should call this function every time you need to check if the plug-in is properly installed to the FileMaker. Even if the plug-in is not registered (or badly registered) this function should work. Calling this function in the startup script of your solution is recommended.
Returns requested version format or platform. If this function returns "?", then the plug-in is not properly installed or FileMaker cannot load and activate it for some reason.
SHasp_Version( "long" )
This will return the plug-in name and its version. In this case it is 24U SimpleHASP Plug-In 2.0
SHasp_Version( "platform" )
Returns "Mac OS X" or "Windows" depending on your OS.
SHasp_Version( "autoupdate" )
Returns 02000000 for version 2.0.0 of the plug-in.
Returns the current value of a HASP HL key parameter selected by selector.
| Name | Datatype | Condition | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| feature_id | number | If you have solution with several modules, each module can be protected separately by assigning it a specified number. Use 0 if you don't have more modules to protect. | |
| set_id | string | Unique ID for your set of HASP keys. This ID is provided together with plugin. | |
| selector | string | Name of the parameter to get | |
| file_id | number | If you want to get size of specific file, use this parameter for its ID. Otherwise the default Read/Write memory file (ID: 65524) will be used. |
| "rtc" |
Returns the current time from keys with real time clock capability. Use "key-info" and find <rtc /> to be sure, if your key has rtc. Some keys supports V-clock. If you enable them and your key doesn't have rtc, then timestamp from V-clock is returned. |
| "session-info" | Returns information regarding a session context. |
| "key-info" | Returns information about the key. |
| "update-info" | Returns update info. |
| "size" | Returns the memory size of the key in bytes. |
This function enables you to get info about the HASP HL Key. It can be used to list the capabilities and parameters of your Key or read the real-time clock.
Function returns 0 or one of the error codes.
SHasp_Get( 0 ; "f38e6dd347c9eeef7619d80d151db412" ; "rtc" )

HASP HL Keys with internal storage offer Read/Write Memory and Read Only Memory. The memory type is selected using file_id parameter.
| Protected Read/Write Memory | ID: 65524, sometimes referred to as HASP_FILEID_RW in HASP HL documentation. |
| Read Only Memory (ROM) | ID: 65525, sometimes referred to as HASP_FILEID_RO in HASP HL documentation. |
SHasp_Read( 0; "f38e6dd347c9eeef7619d80d151db412" ; 65524; 0; 3000 )
Reads at most 3000 bytes of stored data from the Read/Write memory file (ID: 65524). The type of returned data depends on the type used for writing.
SHasp_Read( 0; "f38e6dd347c9eeef7619d80d151db412" ; 65524; 0; 3 )
Reads at most 3 bytes of stored data from the Read/Write memory file (ID: 65524). The type of returned data depends on the type used for writing. If stored data aren't text and they are larger, than 3B, then plugin will return error.
SHasp_Read( 0; "f38e6dd347c9eeef7619d80d151db412" ; 65524; 0; 5 )
Assume, that we are trying to read from file (ID: 65524), where was stored "Hello SimpleHASP". This call will return "Hello" read from the Read/Write memory file (ID: 65524).
SHasp_Read( 0; "f38e6dd347c9eeef7619d80d151db412" ; 65524)
Assume, that we are trying to read from file (ID: 65524), where was stored "Hello SimpleHASP" on offset 0, then this will return "Hello SimpleHASP" read from the Read/Write memory file (ID: 65524).
SHasp_Read( 0; "f38e6dd347c9eeef7619d80d151db412" ; 65524; 12; 5 )
Assume, that we are trying to read from file (ID: 65524), where was stored "Hello SimpleHASP" on offset 12. This call will return "Hello" read from the Read/Write memory file (ID: 65524).
Updates a HASP HL key.
| Name | Datatype | Condition | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| set_id | string | Unique id for your set of HASP keys. | |
| path_to_file | string | Path to file containing informations for update. This ID is provided together with plugin. |
This function writes update information to locally connected key.
This function returns an acknowledgment code. If an error occurs the function will return an error code. Please check the result for error codes after every plugin call, please read more here.
SHasp_Update( "f38e6dd347c9eeef7619d80d151db412" ; "/Users/username/Documents/fileWithUpdate.v2c" )
Updating HASP key requires cooperation of customer and administrator. As customer you have to generate .c2v file. You can generate this file with our plugin - all you have to do is call function SHasp_Get with \"update-info\" param. Store this result into file and save it as something.c2v. After completing this steps send this file to your administrator. As administrator you can find valuable information here.
Writes to the internal memory of HASP HL key if it's available.
| Name | Datatype | Condition | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| feature_id | number | If you have solution with several modules, each module can be protected separately by assigning it a specified number. Use 0 if you don't have more modules to protect. | |
| set_id | string | Unique id for your set of HASP keys. | |
| file_id | number | The requested file ID. | |
| offset | number | Offset to write in bytes. | |
| length | number | Length of data in bytes. If data are larger than length, then error is returned. If data are smaller than length, then bytes of size length are written to HASP. | |
| data | string or container | The data to be written. |
Writes to the internal memory of HASP HL key. The actual data is prepended with SimpleHASP Plug-In header to ensure data integrity. If the data is shorter than the submitted length, the length will be adjusted. Length shorter than the actual data size will result into error.
Function returns 0, if it returns different value, then it is error code. Please check the result for error codes after every plugin call, please read more here..
SHasp_Write( 0 ; "f38e6dd347c9eeef7619d80d151db412" ; 65524; 0; 4000; MyFile::ContainerField )
Writes at most 4000 bytes of data from MyFile::ContainerField to the Read/Write memory file (ID: 65524). The default feature ID is used and no offset is applied.
SHasp_Write( 0 ; "f38e6dd347c9eeef7619d80d151db412" ; 65524; 0; 8; MyFile::NumberField )
Writes number to the Read/Write memory file (ID: 65524). The default feature ID is used and no offset is applied. All numbers are converted by plugin into type double from C language, therefore size of number has to be at least 8B.
SHasp_Write( 0 ; "f38e6dd347c9eeef7619d80d151db412" ; 65524; 0; 100; MyFile::NumberField )
Writes number to the Read/Write memory file (ID: 65524). The default feature ID is used and no offset is applied.
Note: If you use SHasp_Read with length smaller, then 100 then reading will fail. If you are not sure about length during reading, then don't use that parameter.
SHasp_Write( 0 ; "f38e6dd347c9eeef7619d80d151db412" ; 65524; 0; 10; "some testing text" )
Returns error code (we're trying to write longer text then the specified length).
HASP HL Keys usually offer a limited internal storage.
Always use the same feature_id for encrypting and decrypting (If you use feature_id=3 for encrypting, then you will have to use the same feature_id for decrypting). For more information see HASP documentation.
When writing to HASP, plugin creates header containing original data type and length - The size of the header is 10 bytes (can change in future version). Size of the file (e.g. ID: 65524) has to be greater or equal to offset+total_size+10. Note: For text input total_size=2 * size. For more information please read section "Size of data type" below.
Each datatype requires minimal size, so it can be written into HASP file. See list below to known how to count the minimal size for writing.
Here is the list of all error codes which can be returned by the plug-in.
| Code | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | Success | The given action succeeded and/or there is no problem with proceeding with another. |
| -4 | Not implemented | If you see this error please report the error and steps to reproduce it to 24U Support. This error should never be invoked in the released version of the plug-in. |
