Offline Trial Extension (Verified trial)

Hi,

The following page refers to generating "offline" and "online" trial extensions:https://wyday.com/limelm/help/trials/

I'm wondering whether the details here are old or whether I'm doing something wrong? The trial extension web page doesn't seem to provide an offline/online option.

Either way, should I assume that extending a trial offline should involve a trial extension key along with UseTrialVerifiedRequest() (ala normal offline activation as described in: https://wyday.com/limelm/help/offline-activation/ - specifically the reference to using CheckAndSavePKey()/ActivationRequestToFile())?

Thx.

Offline trial extensions are deprecated and only available for unverified trials. For verified trials, use either the regular trial extension, or use the offline verified trial request: https://wyday.com/limelm/help/trials/#ut-veri-req

No key is needed.

How is it that the offline verified trial request can be used to *extend* a trial; I thought this was used to *start* a trial offline?

Without an extension key how is the trial extended by a fixed number of days? Seems like this is only available when using (online method) ExtendTrial()?

It does both. If the user is at the end of their verified trial and they call that function again, submit the request to you, and you put it in LimeLM, LimeLM will tell you the trial is expired, give you the option to extend the trial for X days, and generate the response file that you send back to the user.

😉 OK, that works, thx!

Is this documented somewhere on the site? The only reference I can find to extending trials is the previously mentioned page: https://wyday.com/limelm/help/trials/ where the stale reference to online/offline exist?
