I'm about to release a new program. I plan to offer free downloads of free 30 day trial software. Does anyone have experience in implementing these timed delay free trials? I was thinking of setting a date stamp on installation, and within the .exe, just running until that date is reached.
All a user has to do is reset the clock back to installation time to counter this, but it seems like a lot to give up compared to paying for software full operation. Does anyone have suggestions about this based on their experiences? -Rich Sincerely, Rich Cooper EnglishLogicKernel.com Rich AT EnglishLogicKernel DOT com 9 4 9 \ 5 2 5 - 5 7 1 2 -----Original Message----- From: Delphi [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tony Foale Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2014 6:35 AM To: Moderated List for the Discussion of Delphi Programming excluding Database-related topics Subject: Re: Question about using the Delphi Deployment tool On 2 June 2014 14:49, Fred Stein <[email protected]> wrote: > Delphi 5 and 6 came with InstallShield Express that worked fairly well. Actually, InstallShield Express was there from the first version of Delphi. However, those implimentations of InstallShield would not produce install files compatible with the later versions of Windows. i use a free product and the later versions of that work with the latest Windows. I forget the name of it and it is on a computer in another office, I'll post the name later, it works well and is very easy to use.
