Hello,

We are using Infralution license system for our products but we would like to give out licenses that would be trials and only last for two weeks.

I saw that you can set and end date to a license key when you generate it, but thats inconvenient since you cannot set the endtime as two weeks from the time of install.

any suggestions ? Do I need to write code or write a special trial version of the product ?

can I create one trial license key to be used by everyone or do I need to generate multiple trial licenses for each trial user ?


Regards,
Emil

Normally it is more convenient for customers to just be able to install your software and have it work in trial mode (without an installed license) for a fixed period. The EvaluationMonitor and EvaluationDialogs allow you to do this (as shown in the sample projects).

If you want more control over who can run the trial version then you can issue trial licenses that work the way you described. You do this by creating a Product Variant (eg Sample Product - Trial) and then in the key generation tab set the expiry date to be 14 days after the key is first authenticated. Then you issue trial license keys using the Product Variant.

Hello,

I tried

EvaluationMonitor evaluationMonitor = new RegistryEvaluationMonitor("Password");
EvaluationDialog evaluationDialog = new EvaluationDialog();
EvaluationDialogResult dialogResult = evaluationDialog.ShowDialog(evaluationMonitor, "Our app");

this works quite fine and comes automaticly with a 30 day trial period. can I somehow shorten the period to 15 days instead ? Didnt quite find an example of customizing the trial length in the samples.

Regards,
Emil

Yes the EvaluationDialog.TrialDays and EvaluationDialog.ExtendedTrialDays properties control this. See the following FAQ for more information:
