How to fetch HASP Key info?

I am making a project (software) in which i am using a HASP key registration for every user who will be willing to use the software. For this I have bought a license for this from HASP Key company.

I want to keep a check on the login of user on three basis i.e., "USER ID", "PASSWORD" and "HASP KEY". I don't know that how the key is generated when we insert the HASP key into the computer means, it generates it randomly or generates a single key every time. I need this Key information from the HASP key. For this I contacted the HASP Key owners; they asked me that I can get all information from the HaspKey.GetInfo() method but I am not able to get this method in C#.Net 2.0. I have also included the Aladin namespace but still not able to get this method. :(

My software is for Single User and for Multi-User and I need this check for both.

If anyone out there have any knowledge on this (HASP) then kindly provide me a solution to it, I would be very grateful to that person.

Aladdin provide you with 3 things:

a Master Key: it is needed to write your specific informations into User Keys
a Developer Key: it is needed to bind your executables to the User Keys using the Envelope method
the Vendor Suite: it is a collection of tools to administer your Keys and customers

On the Vendor Suite you should add your Master Key to its database; when you run the Envelope or ToolBox applet from the Vendor Suite main window, the software ask you about generating some files specific for your Master Key (it should be plugged onto an USB port). Inside My Documents folder you'll find a folder structure like the one below:

Aladdin\HASP SRM 4.0\API\Runtime\DotNet

Inside that folder you'find a set of assemblies related to your key; in your project you should add the right one to its references. Your Master Key is provided with a batch code, a number (probably 5 decimal digits) that you should give to Aladdin each time you make an order for User Keys; assume that your batck number is xxxxx, then the assembiles you are interested on are something like hasp_windows_xxxxx.dll and hasp_windows_x64_xxxxx.dll (the right one to be referenced depends on the target platform of your project).

Finally, from the Vendor Suite main window, you can run the ToolBox application: it give you documentation and code snippets that you can paste in your software.

I hope this could help you...
