Ellipter's Examples

This page contains some examples in C# on using Ellipter, and although we think they are simple enough to be understood we highly recommend to read our FAQ before diving into them.

Using Reference and DLL name

The DLL name is SeriousBit.Ellipter.dll, and usually it is located in C:\Program Files\SeriousBit Ellipter\bin

The using reference for SeriousBit Ellipter is

using SeriousBit.Ellipter;

Create a Private/Public Keys Pair

A private/public keys pair is the central concept in Ellipter, the private key is used to create serials while the public one verifies them (the serials).

You should never put your private keys in end-user products' code and never share it with third parties (even with us).

All private and public keys should be created with Ellipter, or your code won't work:

//get a trial developer key from http://ellipter.com/trial
string developerName = "SeriousBit";
string developerKey = "1UASDASD595FLEA11QQ1TJFT2AJEZBGRWUQXTAFQ22JEBA";
SerialsManager manager = new SerialsManager(developerName, developerKey);
//create keys pair
manager.CreatePrivatePublicKeys();
string publicKey = manager.PublicKey;
string privateKey = manager.PrivateKey;
Console.WriteLine("Public key: {0}\r\nPrivate key: {1}", publicKey, privateKey);

Create a Serial

To create a serial Ellipter needs only the private key to be provided:

SerialsManager manager = new SerialsManager();
//set the private key
manager.PrivateKey = "3UFTLG36ENNWR9GVC4QGMTA"; //a private key can be created on /keygen
//create a serial with a random ID
string serial = manager.CreateSerial();
Console.WriteLine("Serial: {0}", serial);

Validate a Serial

To validate a serial Ellipter needs only the public key:

SerialsManager manager = new SerialsManager(developerName, developerKey);
//set the public key
manager.PublicKey = "WQZZUY4ESSXDRC6PD5N2AMFKDRV2X6QLUVNGAWNB5Y84NSQ";
string serial = "7CCRB4-VKBY6G-3FV7FD-8F4JA1-1QQ";
//validate serial
bool isSerialValid = manager.IsValid(serial);
Console.WriteLine(isSerialValid ? "Serial is valid" : "Serial is not valid");

Read Serial's ID and Info

SerialsManager manager = new SerialsManager(developerName, developerKey);
manager.PublicKey = "WT9CW5DMFW4PZC3CJVW7BKBGAVDTR86AFSD2UFWGLDU57JZ";
string serial = "QUTHME-UKCNBX-U4J49C-YTSRUV-12Q1AS-Z";
if(manager.IsValid(serial))
{
    int id = manager.GetID(serial);
    string info = manager.GetInfo(serial);
    Console.WriteLine("Serial ID: {0}\r\nSerial info: {1}", id, info);
}
else
{
    Console.WriteLine("Serial is not valid");
}
