Product Key Manager v3.0 - *WIP*
Posted: Tue Nov 03, 2009 5:00 pm
Hello,
Thought I would make a post about the new and seriously improved product key manager im currently working on which will be available soon. Firstly the product key manager application itself will have loads of new features:
Super easy SMTP and FTP settings setup
3 serial categories for your software - Free (with trial), Standard and Professional Version
Can setup and use your own email templates both plaintext and HTML
Can resend an serial key if someone should lose it or if it was deactivated and you want to reactivate it
Now for the trial/activation part that goes into your main application. Everything is now controlled within a seperate *.dll file which means you can now add a trial feature to your software with a minimum of just 1 line of code!!!. Yes I said 1 line of code, im so happy about that part
lol. You just add the *.dll to your project and the single line of code and thats it your finished, your software now has a full trial and activation system!.
Everything you need is built-in to the *.dll:
?? Days trial feature - You can choose how many days the trial will run for
Built-in Serial activation form - You can add your own theme to this so it matches your softwares look
Checks the serial key everytime the software starts and if its been deactivated your software will revert back to trial mode until a new key is entered
Tamper detection - It will know if someone tries to beat the trial time by changing the computer date and if tampering is detected it will deactivate the users key and send you a notification via email.
I have loads more features I will be adding to it so this is just a short list and I wanted to let you know the progress and if anyone has an idea of a feature I can add to it please feel free to let me know ;)
