From what I've seen of Softsentry it allows the standalone application to run a predetermined number of times or time period, then it will no longer run until a registration number is input. I guess I could set my program up to do that but I thought there might be a better program out there!


>>Does anyone have experience with Install Shield, PCInstall or Softsentry 2? I'm looking to purchase an install program which will allow for an evaluation period. Any suggestions?

>I think that your application, and not the installer, needs to make allowance for an evaluation period. What do you want the installer to do in terms of the evaluation period (provide a mechanism to collect registration information, recording date/time of install, etc.) and how is your application going to know that it's in 'evaluation' mode?
