Can FNMS identify if an install is a trial version vs licensed copy of an application?

In general - if the deployed software is somehow distinct, yes; if the only difference is in a license or registry key, no, not without additional configuration to capture that detail.

@Natalie's response is quite correct, and I understand you are asking a general question here. However to give some more insight into the challenge here, you may find the following thread about a particular application (Quest Toad) interesting: "Unspecified" edition for "Toad for Oracle" versions 9 to 13. This is about recognizing different editions, but the same principle/challenge applies for recognizing a "trial" version as opposed to some other type of install.

Thanks @ChrisG and @Natalie . I have read through the Oracle thread as we have a lot of apps with unspecified editions. I even opened a support case at one point but was not resolved.
Most of the examples of trial versions I have found are most likely general installs that require a license key to register. Is there any documentation on additional configuration that would identify them?
