Trialware Message Box (System Clock Change)

InstallShield 2008

If an end user attempts to abuse the trial limit by setting back the system clock and then running Try and Die trialware (either before or after the trial has expired), the message box shown below opens.

If the end user sets back the system clock before activating a product protected with Try and Buy/Product Activation, the message box shown below opens. Once the product has been activated, this message box is never shown, even if the end user sets back the system clock.

If the end user clicks Yes, the message box closes, enabling the end user to restore the date and time.

If the end user clicks No, the trial ends, and the trialware cannot be started.

This is done to prevent end users from trying to gain more time for their trial by setting their computer’s date back to an earlier date.
