I have some Windows applications developed using VS2005/VB to which I want
to add a licensing system. I am looking for a system that can provide the
following capabilities:
- Allow users to install and run the app for a trial period (e.g. 20 days)
- During the trial period, include a "nagger" message and an option to
"Purchase License"
- The "Purchase License" option would create a machine dependent keycode
(baseed on HDD S/N, etc.) and send that to me
- At my end, after verifying credit card and such, run a program that
creates a "Registration Key" based on the keycode from the user's machine
- I would send the "Registration Code" back to the user who would enter it
in a "Register" option to activate the software based on the correct machine
keycode
Objectives:
- Prevent users from sharing "Registration Codes"
- App will no longer run after trial period expires
- Reasonably simple to add to my apps
I realize there are some tools out there but I am looking for advice from
anyone that has used them. I know the package will not be free - as long as
the cost is reasonable.
Thanks for any suggestions
