HaspDotNetDllBroken error

Question

I am using Safenet Sentinel key, I have created a webservice for login but when i run it the first time it throws an error HASPDotNetDllBroken but runs fine if i run it the second time or consecutively after that. I am using the following dlls:

• apidsp_windows.dll
• hasp_net_windows.dll

and my webservice is:

[WebMethod]
public string Log()
{
    HaspFeature feature = HaspFeature.Default;

    string vendorCode="Az........";

      Hasp hasp = new Hasp(feature);

    HaspStatus status = hasp.Login(vendorCode);

    if (HaspStatus.StatusOk != status)
    {
        return("Login Failed with status "+status.ToString());
    }
    else
    {
        return ("Login Successful with status "+status.ToString());
    }
}

Answer 1

From the dll's you mention it seems your webservice is 32-bit. In that case you have to put the apidsp_windows.dll and the hasp_windows_.dll in the System32 directory on 32-bit machines and in the SysWOW64 directory on 64-bit machines. is your numeric vendorid, or demo if you're running in evaluation mode.

I hope that helps.
