Two Mac implementation questions

[barryl]

Hi, I'm trying to figure out if I have a bug in my 'friendly reminder' code. Is the timed trial period based on 24 hour intervals or on calendar days? If I start a trial at 11:59pm will my remaining days go down after a minute or will they not go down until 24 hours have passed. I really don't care which way it is implemented....I'm just trying to figure out if I have a bug.

My second question is really more of a request for an opinion. I've renamed and placed the .dat file in my application bundle. Everything seems to work fine. I was just wondering if there is any reason that this is a bad idea. Everything I've read seems to state that you never write to the file.

Thanks,

Barry

or will they not go down until 24 hours have passed.

A 1 day trial means 1 day (24 hours) after the user started the trial, it will expire.

Everything I've read seems to state that you never write to the file.

You shouldn't modify the TurboActivate.dat file. However you can rename it whatever you want. You can also put it wherever you want (if you use PDetsFromPath() to load the file).
