How to create Trialware (30-days or run counting)?


Hello,

Do you know how to create Trialware from full working program?

I tried with InstallShield 11 Express/Premier. I wasn't able to create demo license for my software because the InstallShield said that I have no InterNet connection (while I had and I was surfing). InstallShield is a standard in the trialware creation but it costs about $500 (I saw some German version for ~$3000. Trialware created with InstallShield write in the partition table and if you format your Windows partition and install again the Windows you cannot install the Trialware software again if the trial perod is finished! Sounds excellent. Is there some freeware tool like InstallShield? After a hour surfing I saw Digiwrap 2.0 but the downloading was terminated in the middle (server busy).

The other way is the use some trick to protect my software but InstallShield has done this job and I don't want to invent the wheel

Greetings,

Angel

Hi angel,

I searched through the web and found one called HASP TT.
You can find more information about that in this link:

Cheers,

Hi Paramesh,

Thanks for googling I also found it before a day. I also found ShareGuard Copy Protection software which doesn't look so professional like the InstallShield but it seems to work well.

Have a nice day!
