- Ability to restrict or limit the usage time per running instance.
- Provides support for premium license activation using its own License Generator utility.
- Lets you provide a direct link to your product’s purchase page that can be launched once a free-trial expires.
- Includes other additional properties and methods for handling licenses and license validation tasks.
- Very low memory footprint and impressively fast license validation tasks (refer to demo).

✔️ Security Checks
- All the core classes have been sealed to prevent inheritance.
- The library has been strong-named, obfuscated, and signed to prevent tampering.
- Licenses are generated using a secured cryptographic key to prevent any third-party license regeneration.
- Each product requires a unique Product ID, preventing anyone from recreating a similar product or its derived licenses. This also prevents anyone with the sources from generating licenses of a particular product.
- The Proof Of Use (POU) feature prevents multiple free-trials once licenses have expired.
- The License Generator utility (provided separately) has also been secured and signed to prevent disassembling.
Demo
TrialMaker includes a sample C# demo project that will help you easily get started.
Quick Usage
Once you have the library, first ensure you import the library’s core namespaces in your project:
using WK.Libraries.TrialMakerNS;
using WK.Libraries.TrialMakerNS.Models;
…then instantiate the main class and add the following code:
var tm = new TrialMaker();
// Add your product's information.
tm.ProductInfo = new ProductInfo()
{
ID = "#MyVeryUniqueProductID#" // A unique product ID string.
Name = "My App", // Your product's name.
Owner = "My Company", // Your company or alias name.
TotalDays = 30, // How many trial days?
PurchasePage = "https://myapp.com/purchase" // Your product's purchase page (optional).
};
// This validates an existing license or creates a new one.
License lic = tm.Validate();
if (lic.Status == LicenseStatus.Active)
{
if (lic.Type == LicenseTypes.FreeTrial)
{
// Free trial license.
}
else if (lic.Type == LicenseTypes.Premium)
{
// Premium license.
}
}
else if (lic.Status == LicenseStatus.Expired)
{
// The license has expired.
}
else if (lic.Status == LicenseStatus.Invalid)
{
// The installed license is invalid.
// Use 'ValidationErrors' property to determine which errors were captured.
// You can choose to exit your application to prevent usage.
}
Simple! That’s just about it for the basic implementation of licensing in your apps. There are tons of other features as described in the Features section and demo preview.
