License trial reset (30 days one again)

General
#1

Hi!

First, I will briefly describe my problem. Some time ago, software was prepared for me with a “CRYPTLEX” license protection (this was done by my business partner). The program included a 30-day free trial version. Naturally, after 30 days the program becomes inactive and a full version license must be purchased.

For my testing purposes, the 30-day period turned out to be too short, and I didn’t manage to fully test everything in the program as I had intended. I’ve since parted ways with my partner and have no further contact with him. He told me that if I wanted to use the program again, I could reinstall the operating system, install “our” program from scratch, and the license would be valid for another 30 days.

However, I don’t want to reinstall the Windows operating system. I just want to reset the license so that the 30-day trial period starts again from the beginning.

Questions:

  • Where is the program’s start date stored? Is it in the Cryptlex .dll file?
  • In which line of code can I reset the program’s start date?
  • Does the “Cryptlex” system add anything to the Windows registry during the first launch of the program, and is the start date stored there?
  • What are your ideas on how to reset the license most easily for testing purposes? Is there an expert in this field who could advise me?

Thanks.

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out.

(Assuming you are using Trial Activations)

To resolve this, you can remove the trial activation from the Trials > Trial Activations page in the Admin Portal and then call the Reset() function in the client application. Please note that the Reset() function is intended for developer testing purposes only. Calling ActivateTrial() function again will then have a new trial activation registered on that machine.

Alternatively, you may extend the trial period directly from the Trial Activations page. After extending, simply calling the ActivateTrial() function again in the client application will apply the updated changes i.e. extended trial period in your case.
