This allows you to enter, modify or delete activation keys.





Filter Groups Dropdown : This allows you to select which group of keys are
displayed in the Keys DataGridView.
Group Dropdown : This allows you to select which group you would like to associate
with an activation key.
Application TextBox : The name of the application for which the key is used.
Keys TextBoxes : This is where you enter the activation key segments. If you
enter a dash "-", your will be taken to the next TextBox automatically. If you
paste a dash seperated key (ie. 1234-1234-1234) into the first TextBox the
program will automatically separate it into segments.
Comments TextBox : For any comments about the key.
Commit Button : This will add the key to the keys DataGridView after performing
some data integrity checks.

Password Tabs
This allows you to create, enter, modify or delete passwords.





Filter Groups Dropdown : This allows you to select which group of passwords are
displayed in the Keys DataGridView.
Group Dropdown : This allows you to select which group you would like to
associate with a password.
Description TextBox : A description saying for what the password is used.
Alphabetic Character Options:
Numeric Character Options:
Special Character Options:

The above drop downs are used to set parameters when generating a password.
Generate Password Button : Create a random password based upon the password
option settings.
Commit : This will add the password to the passwords DataGridView after
performing some data integrity checks.

Cryptographic Hashes Tab
This allows you to generate and verify cryptographic hashes created from strings
of files.




Hash Type Dropdown : This allows you to select the type of hash you would like to
generate.
Filename : This allows you to enter a filename (path) to used to create the
cryptographic hash. Check the "string" CheckBox if you want the hash generated
from the text in the TextBox instead of reading the contents of the file.
Generate Hash Button : This generates the hash from the above input. You can
cancel the hash generation using the Stop Button. A spinning icon shows that the
process is running, and when it is complete it will display the hash in the
TextBox below it and also report the time that it took to hash the input.
You can copy and paste a hash string in the second TextBox and it will be
compared to the first to verify the hashes match.

Application Buttons
Save : This will save the key and password information to an encrypted file. You
will be prompted for a file location and name, and also for a username and PIN
number. If you forget your username and/or PIN number there is no way of
recovering the data in the encrypted file.
Exit : This will exit the application.

Additional Information
Adding a group : To add a new group to either keys of passwords simply commit
either using any available group and edit the group name in the DataGridView.
When the Key-Z file is opened it automatically adds the needed groups to the
dropdowns.
Removing a group : Simply remove any keys or passwords for that group and save
the file. When it is re-loaded the group will no longer be available. If you
remove all of the groups, the default set of groups will be re-added when the
file is loaded.

The DataGridViews will be sorted alphabetically (ascending) by group whenever you open a file,
save, print preview or print.
