HID Crescendo SDK

Unofficial NuGet packaging of the HID Crescendo SDK (CrescendoDLL.dll) for managing HID Crescendo smart cards and security keys, including the Crescendo Card series and the USB- and NFC-enabled Crescendo Key series.

The binaries are the official, unmodified redistributables downloaded from hidglobal.com. This package merely wraps them:

  • OS-specific CrescendoDLL.dll builds for Windows (win) and macOS (osx)
  • Open source libraries bundled with the SDK are referenced as regular NuGet dependencies instead of being embedded

Getting started

using CrescendoDLL;

var tokens = TokenDiscovery.GetAllAvailableTokens();
var sdk = new SDKCore(tokens.First());

See the official documentation for the full API reference.

License

The SDK binaries are proprietary software of HID Global Corporation. By using this package you accept the bundled SDK License Agreement.txt.
