Explanation

The PK3QueryProtect function retrieves the current protection status..

The PK3QueryProtect function is disabled if the PK3Initialize function has not been executed.

When the return value is 0, you can get more detailed information depending on the type of protection used ("number of uses", "number of days", "number of months", and "date" type protection)

by referring to the following properties: PK3QueryRemainCount, PK3QueryRemainDays, and PK3QueryRemainMonths)

The return value of 12 means that allowable uses, days, months, or date has been exceeded and then correct protection file was overwritten by an improper protection file.
