(Node.js) Transition from Cert.GetValidFromDt to Cert.ValidFromStr

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated GetValidFromDt method calls with ValidFromStr.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

Install Chilkat for Node.js and Electron using npm at Chilkat npm packages for Node.js Chilkat npm packages for Electron on Windows, Linux, MacOS

var os = require('os');
if (os.platform() == 'win32') {  
  var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-win64');
