Hey Arie,
Well, in TurboActivate 4.0 (out soon) we'll be adding product-key-less verified trials. So, you'll be able to use UseTrial() and TrialDaysRemaining() for verified trials.
Possible to use timed trial in addition to verified trials?
We've been using the verified trial method for a while and it's been working great. We have a custom license field for our product's key where we set when the trial is set to expire. We'd like to introduce the concept of unverified trials based on some fixed amount of time. I understand that we can do this, but is it possible to combine both the code for implementing the timed trial as well as the code for implementing the verified trial? Is it silly to even consider having both in the source code? I guess I want to avoid having to "rip out" all of the logic that enables the verified trial and replace it with code for the timed trial. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Many thanks,Arie
We're working hard to get it out before the end of March. Delays may happen.
Thanks Wyatt,I'm definitely looking forward to 4.0, but am curious if I can do it with the current version. If I place "UseTrial()" in the same code that has all the app's logic for verifying and UseTrial() returns that the trial is expired, couldn't I then check to see if there was an activation the user created?
In essense I'm thinknig that the logic could be something as simple as:
Is the unverified trial is expired? - No: Don't check product key activation, and continue to use app in trial mode -Yes: Check to see if product key is activated. Is the product key activated? - No: Features are disabled in app -Yes: Features work
I should be able to accomplish something like that yes?
Well, I'm not quite sure what you're asking. All of our example apps already do exactly that.
