Hi Support,
I was wondering is it is possible to add “Last Used” to trials as an additional field?

this would be so much helpful to predict sales.

thank you

Hi,

There are two ways you can get the last used value.

  1. Invoke ActivateTrial() on every start of your app (this will increase the startup time of your app as it will do a sync network call). You can set trial activation metadata with metrics you want to track. This method is not recommended. Trials don’t sync in a thread automatically.

  2. Use a license policy for trials. Create a license policy with validity say (30 days), expiration strategy set to ‘rolling’ and allowed activations set to ‘0’. Then create a license with this policy and embed the license key in your app. Now, this opens lots of options. You can even track which features are being used by setting the activation metadata which would auto sync with the server on every start of your app. This is a recommended approach as sync would occur automatically in a separate thread.
