Making Trail Software
-
Hi, I want to make a software for trail use of 30 days or 15 days etc. Please give me an idea. Thanks,
They way I would do it is, after you install your program, store the date that your program was installed for the first time, and use
DateTimefunction to add the days since ran. Then, if your program has been installed for 30 days, set a Boolean value that locks the interface (or however you want to discontinue access to your program). -

Usual user settings locations would be easy enough to find eg: isolated storage. A key in the registry? You could create an algorithm for generating a key in the registry and just store the date with no other identifying informaiton. And then just leave the key there until a full version was installed.

In the program. Every time it starts up, it checks to see if it has been 30 days since it's been installed.

You mean as part of the binary? Have you got code samples or references?

If a user not changed his system date and runs our software at the same date in which date it installed, No way to increase run days. Think about it and give me any more idea about this. Thanks for your reply.
