Re: Change And Customize The License Dialog (Trial.DLL)

Wed May 30, 2018 9:07 am

Hello Peter and welcome to our forums,

Unfortunately there is no out of the box support for this task until now, but here are a few workarounds exposed in our help and forums sections:

1. Display your own custom dialog without showing our trial form
2. Configure Advanced Installer trial dialog fragments to edit the dialog UI controls
3. Sample which implements a Computer specific license requests

All the best,

Hello Daniel,

Thank you! The information you provided is very helpful.

When editing the Trialware Fragment, is there a way to get rid of the registration window completely? My goal is to show customers the amount of days they have left to use my company's application, but not allow them to navigate or see the options for buying, trying, registering, or extending the trial for the application. The user sees the trial end date and selects a button to exit and then the application starts if the trial hasn't expired. If the trial has expired, then the customer is shown that the trial has expired and the application does not run upon exiting the trial window.

Thank you,

Peter

Hello Peter,

I apologize for the delayed reply.

I am afraid this is not possible. To achieve what you need you should hide our trial dialogs and instead display your own custom one within your application.

All the best,

Hello Daniel,

Thank you! I hid the AI trial dialog and created my own dialog and it worked how I wanted it to.

Best Regards,

Peter
