I am using the old license key file based licensing instead of trusted storage. Is there a clean solution using the old license key file method where we can provide users with trial or evaluation licenses: 1. either built into the product 2. or be able to go to a website and download a 30-day license key by email after registering themselves as a user.
For #2, I do not want to write my own infrastructure if there is a FLEX product which already does that.
I apologize if this is not the right forum for FLEXNET trial license questions.
We support ways to generate trial licenses, by setting up an entitlement for a large number of copies with a limited duration expiration terms. Then, each customer can login to the portal and use this activationId to generate a trial license. Please contact technical support for more detailed information.
What about building the 30-day trial license into the product without needing a server or a key file which is tied to the machine on which software is installed?
With certificate licensing, you can only generate a license with host type as ANY so that the trial license can be used on any machine. You cannot bundle a generic license with the product and tie it to a host at installation time.
