BSTR When "getting" a BSTR property, the memory containing the string is allocated with SysAllocString. When this string is no longer needed, free this memory by calling SysFreeString if you are working in an environment such as C or C++ that does not automatically delete the memory. VB automatically deletes the memory, so VB programmers do not need to free the memory themselves. Key;

Unlocks a specific module, or group of modules (depending on the serial number, or Key).

Parameter

Description

pDSKrn

Pointer to an ILMDSKernel2 interface.

Key

A string that represents the module serial number. This parameter cannot be NULL (empty).

Flags

One of the UnLockFlagsConstants2 enumeration values that specify the level at which the unlocking operation will be performed.

AppID

If Flags contains UNLOCK_APP_ONCE or UNLOCK_COMPUTER: The application ID; a unique ID of the calling application. The caller is responsible for uniqueness of this ID. It is recommended to use the full path of the application.

If Flags contains UNLOCK_APP_PATH: The application full path of the application (the long version, not the short 8.3 version of the path).

This parameter cannot be NULL (empty).
