BMX Quick Play Trial Test

Hi Guys

Ive put a simple BMX Software Protector test together for you to test that enables a user to test your program for a limited time in minutes, this test is set as 5 mins then informs you of its end.

you feedback would help if you can run this and report its correct

*NOTE This test gives installed time, not game play time. Re-run .exe to see the time countdown, this realy is a test of the timing system i will use to add realtime limited play time.

thanks
kev

seemed ok here

Worked here. Installed time is very good as well. Interesting! I'm looking forward to the game play time limiting. :)

note: Worked from inside a zip file too. :)

cheers guys, i will post a demo soon of realtime game play limiting. I hope more will test this little example to see the out come.

thanks

Have you tested it on vista yet?

Says "Quick Trail Active, 0 Minutes Remain." right after start?!

MGE, my main develop machine runs vista so yes.

Cmon peeps... Kev needs more testers. Download the file at the top of the post and reply. :)

No one else tested this?

I tested on another XP Home with the same '0 Minutes' right after start.
Then I also tested on a Vista machine and it says '5 Minutes' but never counts down...
When I started the program again with administrator rights, it counted down as expected.
Hope that helps

"When I started the program again with administrator rights, it counted down as expected."

yipes...

What's the status? And what's the odds of this being ready to go within the next 2 weeks? (fingers crossed)

I have vista home premiun and it never counts down.

other .php work as taken me away from this right now, Im hopfull i can get back to this within the next couple of day, I have added support for this to function with administrator off, using GA code i helped with sometime back. lets say it was an oversight and now functions. still problems with the count down when not using administrator.

I will keep you guys updated on my progress, sorry i cant say 2 weeks MGE it seems everytime i think i have free time i dont :)

Thanks for the update Kev. Sounds like you're going to need a robust period for testing. I do hope to use this in the future.

Any good news? :)
