Re: [ActiveLock-Users]Any way to setup a default trial period?

[Rob G. <rg...@bu...>]

Ah, I was afraid of that.  I'll have to wait to see whether this is 
acceptable to my bosses.

This is a feature I think should be added to ActiveLock.  Most 
applications you download that have trial versions and they usually 
don't require you to contact the website for a key first, so I really 
think this would be a good feature to include.  It would basically mean 
the trial period starts the moment the user enters the trial key into 
the application, rather than the moment the trial key is generated.

Anyways, you guys have a good product, just what the open source 
community needs.  Keep up the good work!

Rob
