Suggestion: make an activation key valid for X days

Is the point of this request to do verified activations? If so, then we're already working on a better version in TurboActivate 4.0.

If that's not what you're requesting, then I can't see the possible benefit to offering keys that are bought but then can't be activated. You could always implement this yourself using custom license fields. And revoking / removing a key that hasn't been activated by date X. But again, I'm not sure why you would want to implement this. I don't see how this could benefit you or your customers.

Hi Wyatt,

This is what I told to the guys (and also suggested to implement it ourselves).

They explained to me that they are distributing (or giving away in a drawing) free licences (full licences as if they bought it) to prospects but they must use it before a given time else the licence will not be valid anymore. So they give away but must be used in a given amount of time.

I have my personal opinions on this, but I told them I would send the suggestion. If you find no use in it, just discard it! 🙂 I told them that all they have to do is take note of the keys and check themselves if they have been activated when their "expiry" date has been reached and simply revoke/delete the keys that had no activation at all. And this they shall do.

Hey, I'm eager to see that version 4.0!

Yeah, I don't think we'll be implementing this. You could implement it rather easily on your side, though.

I'm glad. 🙂

We hope to get it out soon.
