Where is Product key saved

Hi,

Suppose a potential client installs my product and activates it with a product key. The customer then deinstalls the product and reinstalls de product again using a new key. Can i then use TurboActivate.GetPKey to see if a key was already installed? and where is the product key saved?

thanks

There are a few functions available. IsProductKeyValid() might be the one you're looking for (it sees if there's a key already set using CheckAndSavePKey()).

If you tell me more about what you're trying to accomplish then we can give you better help.

Hi Wyatt,

It has been a while but here is what we want to accomplish. An internet connection is requiered to download a then activate our software. We give our potential clients a 30 day trial, but before they can even test our software they have to activate the software via LimeLM. Suppose the customer downloaded our software and decide not to install it for let say 20 days. How do i know when the trial is beginning? The function Usetrial() is meant for unverified trials so there is no way i can figure out the trial remainig days. So i thought as soon as the customer installs the software and activates it , i will use the Setdetails function to set a custom field with the starting day of the trial which i then can read out in my software and calculate the remaining trialdays. The problem is that there is no setDetails function in the Turboactivate object only the web api has that function. At the moment we set the custom field trail_date as soon as the client downloads the software, but if the client waits for 20 days before installing then he or she has only 10 days left.

You could always have the customer request more trial days from you and modify the custom license field. In TurboActivate 4.0 we're making verified trials easier.
