Hi
I solved it like this:
1) I start by generating a Hardware specific key.
-You can use the window GUI if you're running on a windows platform, this could be done via the registry VIs.
-You can use the modify date of the LabVIEW.exe file, this will be the date you installed LabVIEW and 99.999% unique.
2) I created a small perl web-page that is connected to a mysql database.
And then to activate the trail period, my LV application queries the web-page like this: www.mysite.com/CheckTrail.pl?HwKey=A75BE32F90115
The web page checks the database if this Hardware Key, already has activated it or not and return 0 or 1 that LabVIEW reads back.
Cheers,
Mikael
