Hi All,

I am using Installshield 2008 Professional - Adminstudio Edition[Basic MSI Project].
I would like to create one project, which should work only 30 days, after that it shuold expire then the user should by the license, if it is valid license then it should work.

Could please suggest me how to create it? can any one tell me what is Trailware, how to create sample project?

Macrovision as well as other third parties offer tools to create time limited trial versions of your application. You can't use the Trialware functionality in your edition of InstallShield.

HI,

When I click on the Acquire button (Open Installshield IDE-->Installation Information -->Trialware--->Trialware Files-->ISDRMFile1-->General Tabbed Pane-->(3) Select or Acquire a License), It takes to the "Configure Trialware Credentilas" wizard, here i am entering the Descrption, Version, User name & Password(I have created Evaluation Information for Activation Service, i got a mail from loree@macrovision.com which has my login Details), after that i am clicking on the Next button then i am getting the following error message. Please see the attached scrren shot.

It is saying like "Failed to contact the License server. The server may not be responding, or you have lost connection to the Internet. Please try again later ", However i have the internet connection, i am able to browse anything."

Could you please HELP me anyone on this serious problem?

Great Thanks,
Reddy611

As far as I know, Activation Service is no loger available to new customers. But if you have a eval registration mail, it should include information about free technical support during the evaluation period. So you may want to make use of that. I don't think that anyone in the forum will be able to solve this problem, which looks like an issue with Macrovision's server.
