Just today I've completed a trial version of my application - I then uploaded it to my webserver, and to my surprise a user already (almost one hour after I uploaded it) bypassed the protection and used the software 8 times (instead of the limit of 1 use)!
My "protection" was pretty weak. After the program has been used, it just writes a value to a single registry key. The user just deletes this registry key and can use the program once more, and so if someone does this enough times, he can use the software for as much time as needed.
Anyway, since I'm not really experienced in programming, do you guys have some nice working and possible easy to implement trial protection? I'm not looking for anything too serious, but it shouldn't be as easy to bypass as my current protection.
I was in away to develop a system to check any problems installed in a smart card. Such as checking wheter applet fully configure,checking serial no and etc.
i have to develop a ticketing package for a client...and he wants to use smart cards too...i would need to develop the package on a smart device i.e. a mobile application and will have to read the card on the device itself ...i have zeroed on the instrument from motorola. and an blue tooth connected printer to print the ticket.how to read the smart card ...i have searched a lot but have not found anything good.the smart card would contain the amt. balnce in it...and after the transaction i need to again enter the balance in the smart card...
I have searched lots of way to make a 30 day trial limit of my program. They say "Use -Settings- in visual basic application for your variables" to save the information about user (like : registered or not registered or when the program expire). (You can see the 'Settings' when you double-click on "my project" in "solution explorer") Does the data which we use with "settings" saved in our program or somewhere in the computer?
how can i add a trial with random serials or single serial and once it get registered expire it after 6-12 months....and also if user change its clock time to some day back it remains expire.....

I need to know how can I make trial(demo) version of my program. Normally people use date & time to do it. But if user will change his system date I guess it will not work.

Ive created a trial application , but how do i stop that application from running again on the same ip address? Just so the user cant re-install it and use it again.
I have seen a similar thread. But it is not answered. The Auto uninstall tool link given in that answer is not working. I want to uninstall .Net Pro Trial and going to install express edition. can anyone please tell me the order of programs to be removed?. Or please give the link for Auto uninstall tool for .Net Pro 2010.
Note: I have some software which are based on .Net Framework. so I should not remove the Framework. Is it possible to install Express Edition without removing this Framework?.
