You can find this example program and license inside the folder \GameShield\Pre-Compiled Examples\SimpleTrialSN.

Note that the license project file ("CheckPT_SimpleTrialExample.lpj") is provided for your reference but you should never distribute license project files (.lpj) with your actual applications.

This example license is configured to allow the example program to run for 14 days after which time the trial period is expired and the program will not run unless you enter a valid Serial Number and perform an online Activation using our live test CheckPoint License Server (indicating that you have "purchased" the software).

Below are instructions on how to test the example program and unlock it. Note that if you have not yet purchased the GameShield System, while you are testing the example program, the "Demo Version" dialog may appear to remind you that the version of GameShield you are using is a demo version. Simply dismiss this dialog and continue with the steps as noted. If you have already purchased the GameShield System, but the "Demo Version" dialog continues to appear, be sure you have read and followed the instructions in the section: Unlocking The Demo Version Of GameShield.

Note that you may wish to refer to the section How To Make a Trial Version of your Application That Expires for more detailed information.

Important Note About Testing The Simple Trial Example Program:

While you are testing the example program you may be tempted to play with the system clock on your machine to examine how the ClientProtector deals with trial periods and moving the clock back and forth. If you are using the Evaluation (Demo) Version of the GameShield System, you will probably corrupt your GameShield License file. If you are still using the evaluation version of GameShield, DO NOT MOVE YOUR SYSTEM CLOCK.

Once you purchase the GameShield System, moving your system clock has no effect on GameShield system itself running on your system.

To Test The Application

Simply run the application and follow the instructions.  We have provided a sample Serial Number right inside the application to simulate your original purchase of the product. Once entered a full-automated online activation will be performed illustrating unlocking full (non-trial mode) application using the CheckPoint License Server.
