Yes and after ? he cannot create any license to valid registration ! so the
software stay always in Demo ! ;-)
All trials locking schemes (30 days, Date Expiration, etc ...) can be reset,
using InCTRL 5 tools for example, take a snapshot of the system before
installation and installer compare the result and you can see any changes,
because protection must write information on the system (registry or files
and sometime in boot).
In general, we should to disabled 2 or 3 features (e.g : print, save, open,
etc ...) in the Trial Version.
Even if trial limit is resetted, the application is always in limited
edition!
> I believe the most easy thing in the world is to reset the trial info on
your IceLicense system.
Our main idea is to keep customer's application protected until user buy a
license, and avoid any crack or key generator.
ICE License is compatible with most Windows environment (Limited Mode &
Administrator) used in many companies. Some protections don't allow to run
application under Windows Limited Mode, so potential customer cannot
evaluate the software !
> What trial is that, when everyone can reset the days every time?
Perhap you protect your application without removed features (I respect your
choice) , but know your application can be cracked easily in few minutes
without touching or debugging your executable... (you need to reset system
parameter).
Our definition of trial is application with 2 or 3 features removed and
little protection by days (30 days e.g)
You need to know the protection with 100% no exist.
