Using LimeLM for Monthly Re-Activations

My company is looking for a tool that will lock or disable a custom/proprietary application on a timed interval, 30 days. This will be used on an on-board PC installed on industrial waterjet cutting machines. We want to require the customer to contact us for a new activation key to unlock the application for another 30 days. Will LimeLM with TurboActivate meet these requirements, or can it be configured to do this?

Hey John,

Will LimeLM with TurboActivate meet these requirements, or can it be configured to do this?

Yep, you can use LimeLM & TurboActivate to do this. What you'll want to do is use custom license fields. For example, create a custom license field called "expires_on", set the date to 30 days from the creation date. Then, in your app read that "expires_on" value and use the IsDateValid() function to see if the customer can still use your app.

If the customer buys more days from you then you can update that value and they'll be able to use your app for X more days. Does that make sense?

Here's the best place to start: Getting started with LimeLM.

Thank you for the response Wyatt...John
