All MY attempts to find such a 'wrapper' have failed. This was 1-2 years ago. In the end I have put all trialware functionality IN my application. It is plain vfp-code.

I must admit that I also failed finding such a wrapper, because I have strict ideas about the kind of protection scheme, and the developers of such wrappers have their own idea about it. As an example, many of them will tie the app to the computer hardware. I hate that and don't want it, so those wrappers were discarded.

On the technical side, many or all wrappers cannot handle our structure of a startup exe that uses runtime libraries. One might also claim that the problem is that the vfp runtimes can't handle, or recognize, or communicate with, a wrapped startup exe.

Constructive frustration is the breeding ground of genius.
If there’s no willingness to moderate for the sake of good debate, then I have no willingness to debate at all.
