Out-of-the-box implementation of ACEN licensing requires appropriate versions of PC Guard and Activation center and additional modules depending on selected web interface (Web API/SOAP) as specified below.

Web API Interface

PC GuardActivation center (ACEN)
06.00.0940+06.05.0360+
Web API interface module

Web API interface requires special version of standard interface DLL:  iDLLwa (32bit) in case of PC Guard for Win32 and PC Guard for .NET and iDLL64wa (64bit)) for PC Guard for Win64 and PC Guard for .NET64. These modules are included in distribution and are located in \acen sub-folder. Be sure to distribute current versions of these modules with protected application.

SOAP Interface

PC GuardActivation center (ACEN)
06.00.0840+05.01.0000+
Web service interface modules

Web service interface modules are included in each full featured version of PC Guard and are located in \acen subdirectory.

For PC Guard for Win32 and PC Guard for .NET these files are iAWS.DLL and iAWSw.DLL (32bit versions)

For PC Guard for Win64 and PC Guard for .NET64 64bit versions of these files are included (iAWS.DLL and iAWSw64.DLL)

Be sure to distribute current versions of web service interface modules with protected application as protection code will display Aws_WrongVersion error message in case it is not able to load required version of these modules.
Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable files

Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 x86 redistributable files are required for applications protected with PC Guard for Win32 and PC Guard for .NET.

Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 x64 redistributable files are required for applications protected with PC Guard for Win64 and PC Guard for .NET64.

Installation setup with appropriate redistributable files (x86/x64) can be downloaded from Microsoft website:

TIP: If "Auto copy required modules" option is enabled in System settings PC Guard will automatically copy required modules to output directory during protection process.
TIP: Enable Single threaded application option in ACEN settings for WPF and any other applications which require single threaded apartment model.
TIP: Out of the box implementation of ACEN licensing can be used with applications (EXE) only due to limitations of DllMain environment. Accompanying DLL modules should be protected with same remote protection settings as main EXE but without ACEN licensing enabled. In this way main EXE application with handle licensing tasks and DLL modules will share same license information with main EXE. This will also prevent multiple license validation tasks (from main EXE and all required DLL modules) from invoking during application loading,  ACEN licensing for standalone DLL modules should be implemented manually by using advanced protection interface.
IMPORTANT: SOAP interface is no longer updated and will be deprecated in the future so using Web API interface is highly recommended!
