DTI includes new and changed functions.


Functions	Description	New or Changed

PvGetProductsInfo()	Retrieves a list of all Pervasive Software products found by the License Manager	Changed. Includes additional information about licensing in returned XML string, such as failed-validation period

Note: PvValidateLicenses returns only the result from requesting a validation action. It does not return any information about the state of the keys. You must separately call PvGetProductsInfo() to get the XML string of product information that includes information about the state of the keys.

DTO

The Pervasive PSQL DTO SDK now includes support for 64-bit environments, including the .NET framework. To use DTO with your 64-bit applications, you need to install Pervasive PSQL Server 64-bit or Client 64-bit to obtain the 64-bit library W64DTO2.DLL. See W64DTO2 in Distributed Tuning Objects Guide.

If you use DTO with your .NET applications compiled as “AnyCPU,” the 64-bit version of DTO allows your application to make DTO calls on both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. See also Understanding How Applications and DLLs Interact in Distributed Tuning Objects Guide.

DTO also includes new and changed methods.


DTO Object	Method	Description	New or Changed
DtoDatabase	RemoveUserFromGroup	Removes an existing user from an existing group	New
DtoLicenseMgr Object	ValidateLicenses	Initiates a validation action to check validity of all keys	New
DtoLicenseMgr Object	GetProductInfo	Retrieves a list of all Pervasive Software products found by the License Manager	Changed. Includes additional information about licensing in returned XML string, such as failed-validation period period

Note: ValidateLicenses returns only the result from requesting a validation action. It does not return any information about the state of the keys. You must separately call GetProductInfo to get the XML string of product information that includes information about the state of the keys.
