Evaluation Time

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Defines whether the application is available for evaluation or not. During each program start the days left for evaluation are displayed.

Number of days to evaluate

Days for evaluation, beginning with the first start of the Multimedia Player. Setting days to 0 allows using the software without time limitation but offers an option for registration.

 

End of Evaluation

This can be used as an alternative to number of days for specifying a final expiry date.

The button Clear Expiry Date deletes an expiry date.
 

 

You can combine both values - e.g. allow 15 days after installation but end the trial at the latest on 31.12.2006. The date occurring first is used.

No evaluation version Serial Number needed to start

There is no evaluation period. The Multimedia Player can be started only after activation of the software. The first screen the user will get (see screen No evaluation version) requires to enter a Serial Number.

 

Check for system date modification

Enables a check, if the system date is modified back more than 1 day. This option will stop the application if the date was turned back.

 

You have to send the user a special key to turn off this lock.

 

Create key to turn off system date lock

If the user gets an error screen that the system date was modified, you have to send him an Unlock Key with or without copy protection

 

 

 

 

Test time limitation

To test how the time limitation is working, do not turn back the system date. Make a time-limited version which runs for one day (number of days to evaluate = 1) or set a final expiry date (End of Evaluation) to tomorrow. Create a CD, start the Multimedia Player today and start it tomorrow.
