Hi,
I have created a simple audio compositional environment which I hope
to develop further over the coming years. I've recently finished the
mac version of this software but am interested in offering a trial
version of this software also. Therefore, I am wondering what
techniques are available to me for doing this. In other words, how can
I hide from the user were I store their installation date.
So far, I simply take a copy of the date and store it in a .settings
file. I then read this data to see how long is left. But if the user
deletes this file, they can reinstall the application and will have
another 30 day trial.
On Windows I use the registry to hide this information.
Thanks very much for your help,
Aine.
