Right, I'm sure I've raised this a million times now but I don't feel I've ever fully understood the resolution, so I'm going to ask again, please be as helpful as possible as this is driving me mad.
I want users to be able to activate online and offlineI don't mind the software checking activation status online, however I don't want users without internet access to be cut off without warning.
The gripe from some of my clients is that they have purchased a yearly licence, and after every thirty days they get kicked out of the software because they choose not to connect their computer to the internet.
Sure I could change the checking period from every 30 days to every 365 days, but then monthly subscribers could get 11 months service without having to pay for it.
Am I missing an obvious solution?
Us the default settings (90/30) for TA_IsGenuineEx(). When they're in the grace period and it fails, give them intelligent instructions (i.e. a subtle notification telling them what to do).
For checking custom license field expiration use TA_IsDateValid(). This is covered exhaustively in the custom license field article: https://wyday.com/limelm/help/license-features/
Hi Wyatt
Please forgive my ongoing questions about the LimeLM integration, I am not a coder and I dont believe my programmer has been able to fully understand what is and is not possible with LimeLM.
Please can you confirm that the following is achievable with LimeLM?
I want the software to check it is activated every 90 days.
If the activation check fails, I want to give the customer 30 days grace period, during which the customer will be informed in the software that they need to connect to the internet and recheck for activation.
I want the software to display the expiry date of the software that has been set in custom licence fields.
I want the software to enter the grace period if the expiry date set in the custom licence fields has passed.
In the case that the customer has activated offline, when the software enters the grace period, I want the customer to be able to generate a new signature file to activate offline again.
Kind RegardsNick
Hey Nick, yes, all of that is possible out of the box. The only thing you'll need to do is if you want this... :
>> "I want the software to enter the grace period if the expiry date set in the custom licence fields has passed."
... Then you'll need to manage that grace period in your software. But it's all possible and very well documented. Tell you developer to start by using the latest TurboActivate, reading the documentation and following the example.
Yes
Sorry to ask again but my developer has once again asked me to clarify.

Does the function GenuineDays work on Adobe AIR? If not, does if have any effect on being able to achieve my requirements below.

ta.IsGenuineEx(90, 14, true);
What is the 14? Is that the trial period or the grace period?
>> "Does the function GenuineDays work on Adobe AIR? "
TA 4.2.0 is now out and includes that function for Adobe AIR.
