Trial and Registration Page

This feature is available only in an Enterprise or above license.

Trial and Registration feature allows your users to evaluate your product before purchasing. It also enables users to register after they have received a valid key. After the trial period expired, the user will be able to run your application only after registration.

Although Trial and Registration uses complex trial period protection methods and cryptographic secure registration keys algorithms, it doesn't provide any protection against application code cracking.

Functionality

Trial and Registration main characteristics:

After the trial limit has been reached the application will run on the target machine only after user registration.

The user is assisted in evaluating or registering your product by a modern Graphic User Interface.
