Active Lock ???

[kinjalgp]

I have used active lock to disable some features in my program. But due to this my program has become too slow because on execution it check's whether the user is registered or not and if yes it enable all the features of it. If anyone know a better and faster alternative to this kindly let me know.

Thanks.

What's an "Active Lock" ?

[kinjalgp]

Active Lock is an ActiveX control used for making Demos and Sharewares of your Program. It is available for free at http://www.activelock.com

Why don't use a bool for reg/unreg and enable/disable your features that way? It won’t stop the serious hackers from using your program but it will stop the vast majority for people.

Can you please give a example of it. And if I use Boolean to reg/unreg or ena/disable a control will it be in the same condition in the next execution or the one which was at the design time.

Hi all,

I have downloaded a demo program from:
http://www.altamira-group.com

It was limited to 20 runs only! has nothing to do with date.

I've tried and tried to figure out how it was done,
ofcourse, for learning reason only.

I wish i could find out how it was done !

I think this is a good way for demo versions.

Good luck.

Hello kinjalgp,

I will work on this tonight and post it here when I'm finished.

Best,

Roger

Hello ,

I used the standard VB Regestry functions, with my own key "RegNumber" so you can find it under the following path in the regestry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\RegNumber\USER


I hope this helps you out.
