# This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.83 or greater.

# The thumbprint can be passed in any encoding, such as hex, base64, etc.
# The 2nd argument indicates the encoding of the 1st argument.
success = cert.LoadByThumbprint("ea5a129c1919a52d238ee28d9f3a8f345b768388","hex")
if (success == False):
    print(cert.LastErrorText)
