*Except Gemplus GemSAFE smart card series. Dekart formatting utilitites are not allowed to format the GemSAFE cards, because GemSAFE cards have status "finally formatted". In other words, GemSAFE is a card already pre-formatted for use with GemSAFE libraries, and the formatting applied to this card does not allow any other formatters to work with this card. But Dekart's applications don't use GemSAFE libraries, Dekart's applications work with cards directly using card's commands set. Only in case that you have "raw" cards, i.e. "non-formatted" GPK cards you can format them using our formatting utility.
