Ive seen people reset their computers clock to cheat. Can softSENTRY overcome this?
A. Again, with softSENTRY you have the option. Here, you have the option of how to limit your trialware. You can choose days, repetitions, or a date. Using any of these options, once the trial period has expired, the software cannot be reactivated. The question above implies you’re protecting your software based upon the days algorithm. This is a common approach but softSENTRY is able to compare based only the system clock. If the clock is within the valid activation period, softSENTRY has no way of knowing whether it was reset or not. If people abusing your trial interval are a concern, then one of the other time-limiting options might better meet your needs. Like the total number of days option, the date option can also be defeated if the clock is reset before the software expires. The repetition option is probably the right choice in this instance. Using softSENTRY to limit your trialware to a fixed number of uses is the best way to make sure your software isn’t abused.
