After that you have to ask for an Application ID (AppId) simply filling the form at www.mywakes.com/contact.aspx.
The desktop application is brought to you along with the .NET client library that you can generate at Download SDK page and that is placed in the /Libraries folder of the Solution.
The other requirements are that you have to download and Install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 with all service packs and updates and Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 or later.
The demo comes with clients for version 4.5.1. If you have a .NET lower version (2.0 or higher), download the client for your version at Download SDK page and replace it in the demo.
