Barcode SDK 64bit now available!
Black Ice Software is proud to announce the release
of the Barcode SDK 6.00 with 64 bit compiler support
for .NET and UNICODE file name generation and
improved barcode detection.
The benefits of 64-bit hardware can only be fully
achieved if the installed software is designed to
take advantage of the all features of the 64 bit
hardware. Software intended for 32-bit computers,
although compatible, will generate few, if any, of
the desired benefits when it is installed on a
64-bit computer.
Black Ice Barcode SDKs version 6.0 have separate
installers for 64-bit development. Learn more and
download a demo at www.BlackIce.com/BarcodeSDK.
