example/sample for adobe air to implement �verified trials�

I tried to user verified trial in Adobe Air, got this error. What does this mean ?

Error: Insufficient system permission. Either start your process as an admin / elevated user or call the function again with the TA_USER flag.

I guess, TA_USER is for unverified trial, which i have tried earlier and succeeded without any error.

Thanks

The Adobe AIR example is not yet compatible with verified trials (because we actually have to do a lot of work with the Adobe AIR to make it function like a normal programming language). TA_SYSTEM / TA_USER has nothing to do with verified trials.

The TA_SYSTEM / TA_USER difference is well documented both in the example, in that particular error code, and on these forums.

TA_SYSTEM stores the activation/trial files system wide. TA_USER stores them per-user. Calling the function with TA_SYSTEM requires admin permission (for intuitive reasons) the first time you call it.

Hi Wyatt,

If verified trials doesn't work for AIR at the moment, any idea on when it will be supported?

...and just to clarify, are you saying that verified trials work for just .air files but will work with AIR captive runtime .exe and .app files? Or does it not work in the captive runtime situation either?

...dang I wish I could edit my posts on this form. I meant to write: "and just to clarify, are you saying that verified trials don't work in .air applications but *will* work with AIR captive runtime .exe and .app applications? Or is it that verified trials will not work in the captive runtime situation either?"

We just haven't written the necessary code for Adobe AIR. It requires us to put in about 40 to 70 hours of work just to support Adobe AIR (whereas other languages require about 2 to 3 hours to upgrade them to the latest code).

They will work with Adobe AIR, just like unverified trials currently work with Adobe AIR. We just need to set aside the time to do it. Right now, though, we have several items higher on the list of priorities. We won't be able to give you a hard date at this time.

Hi Wyatt,

Ok, I understand the prioritization. Unfortunately there's fewer of us Flex/AIR companies around these days

But just so I understand: if I'm publishing to .exe and .app via captive runtime and *not* publishing an .air build, can I use verified trials? Is it only unavailable in .air builds?

Thanks,

Daniel

If you're using TurboActivate with adobe AIR you need to publish as exe or dmg. It's just not possible to distribute your app as an *.air file. It's just a limitation of Adobe AIR (one of the many limitations).
