What can I do with a setup that usually does not have Internet Access

I've been using TurboActivate In a Mac OS X software.

Now, I have a few computers with the Licence running in a place where it is very difficult to have Internet Access.

Now, after a few months (about 2 months to be more specific) Some computers have started to show the "trial expired" message.

I've been using this options:

GENUINE_OPTIONS opts; opts.nLength = sizeof(GENUINE_OPTIONS); opts.nDaysBetweenChecks = 90; opts.nGraceDaysOnInetErr = 14; opts.flags = TA_SKIP_OFFLINE;

What do you suggest me to do? This is a very Important client for me, and they payed for the software, so... I would like to know what can I do?

My other concern, is that I connected one of the computers to the Internet, and It kept saying "trial expired" It took about 3hrs for the computer to validate the licence again

Your options for IsGenuineEx() are good (specifically TA_SKIP_OFFLINE is what you want). So, for customers without internet connections, or that can't reverify, tell them to use offline activation: https://wyday.com/limelm/help/offline-activation/

Does that make sense?

With the TA 4.0 release out in about a week, we included update C examples showing how to handle this case. It's implied in the documentation, but we erred on the side of making the C example simple. But with the new C example, we just make it explicitly clear the best way to handle things.

Short answer: when IsGenuineEx() returns TA_FAIL it's either because there's no activation OR there's an activation but it's been more than X+Y days. Use IsActivated() in the if-block to see the reason for the TA_FAIL. And if IsActivated() returns TA_OK, then you can prompt he user to retry immediately (with a button that when clicked calls IsGenuine()).
