Update only for registered Users

Hello!Is it possible, to allow updating with InstantUpdate only for registered users?

It isn't in the upcoming 1.0 Final. I thought briefly about adding something like that, but the negatives outweigh the positives. Namely your non-registered users will always have the worse-off experience of using your old software. Thus decreasing the incentive to go out and buy a copy of your software.

And couldn't they just re-download the new trial-version of your program? If that's a possibility, by disallowing updates you're making the overall experience of your program less pleasant.

Could you explain why you want to do this? Perhaps I'm not seeing the full picture.

I think about this, because of many popular commercial programs can updates only if it registered... 🙂Also, you can put on your web-site only first version of program, and when user would register, he can update his version of program to full-functionality version.

Ah, I see. We'll that's a bigger problem altogether. This would require some custom code in the Client to get all the details right (namely to verify serial numbers).

I won't be implementing this in version 1.0 Final. However, when I release the source code of the InstantUpdate Client you'll be able to modify the Client to run under certain circumstances (e.g. when the user is registered).
