Hello-
I am testing LimeLM activation but have run into a problem.
I have activated our software on our testbed PC with one serial number, and then revoked that serial number. Next, I set the trial period on a different serial number to, say, one day. Two days later, Lime LM doesn't seem to recognize that the second serial number's trial period has expired, and I'm not sure why.
I can post the relevant code (C#) if you like.
Thanks,
OK, more clarification.
I think it's *mostly* working. I see now that I shouldn't ever have input a serial number in order for the trial to be working.
However, I have revoked all the product keys I created, and then deactivated the license on my computer. I set all the trial lengths to '30' in my LimeLM account.
Now, when I click 'Activate', it says the user must activate within *9* days?
I'm confused 😳
Ummm....nvm.
I moved to another devel box and it appear that a 30 day trial is working OK. So maybe that 9 days was the remainder of another trial.
Apologies for the noise... 😳
That's alright. I should make a few notes though. Firstly, the trials are unrelated to the serial number. They are per-machine and per-version. In fact the user need not even enter a serial number to be using the trial.
As far as extending and resetting trials goes, we plan on adding that a little later this month.
Hmmm....when I came in today the trial on that box still says there are 9 days left. Is there a way I can reset/delete the trial on this pc so I can continue further testing?
Or is that what you mean by:

?
P.S. Could you put a link on the LimeLM pages to this forum? I often find myself in LimeLM and need to look up something in the forum for reference. Thanks.

Sorry, that sentence was a bit hard to parse (the typos didn't help). What I mean is this: we are adding the ability to extend & reset trials. You'll be able to generate a code within the LimeLM interface and then deliver this code to your users. With the code they can reset / extend their trial.
Plus you could use it to reset/extend trials on your test machine.
Tell me if this helps.

We have such a link on the bottom of the Help page. We also have a site redesign coming in about 2 months that will ease some of these usability problems.
