[Help]Register thingy...

[-=ProUser=-]

heya all guys, I made 3 projects in vb8-> keygen(for reg. key) -> register app(to register the product) - > the main product(with trial).

~how can I do this:
if I entered the reg. key then clicked the "submit" button then it'll show a msgbox about that ur registered. Then in the main product, it will not be a trial anymore

~this are 3 .exes? any help?and also when I clicked a button, it will start a program, is it like this:

process.start ("blabla.exe")

?correct me if i'm wrong. Thank you.

what the (censored) are you on about?
i did not understand one word u said.

You have 3 forms (by the sound of it)
And u want to open up a exe from your computer?

as far as a message box goes

If MsgBox("Would You Like To Register This Product", vbOKCancel, "Register?") = vbOK Then
    'dosomething
End If

as far as creating your own demo goes, your not even close...(if thats what you want to do)

and yes process.start to programatically open a file.

I said, i made 3 projects, so it's 3 programs (*.exe). Get me? Let's say
program 1- main product with trial
program 2- app. to register the main product(program 1)
program 3- keygen //never mind this stuff

When I run program 2, i'll paste the reg. key from program 3 to program 2 to make my program 1 registered, get me? so the program will be registered, not trial vr.

or you could just use a program that does that foir you?

like themida or .net reactor or something. they pack your exe and also allow you to set up trials and register stuff very easily.

imma try those stuffs.

why 3 .exe when you can add new forms?

Well as far as the trial you could put a ten limit use on ur program?
To do this you would have to make a label set the text at 10, a settings save then do this code:

 Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        If my.settings.trial = "0" Then
        msgbox("Your Trial Has Expired. Please Register") 
Else
        label1.text = My.Settings.Trial
        Label1.text = label1.text - 1
        My.Settings.Trial = label1.text
    End Sub

so basically if you set the text at 10, each time you use it the 10 will go down 1 so after running ten times it will not work.

We can post 100's of ways... He wants it data specific (or says specific)

If you want a real trial, search your favorite search engine, Microsoft has a Template (sample, starter kit) for Trials using Serial, take advantage of it and learn from it, If you can't use it in express, download 2010 beta, open it and use it to learn how to make one for your project in 2008 express....

I think that will solve all of your issues.
