Evaluation Protection may be added to an executable using ExeLock.
Wordpad may again be used to illustrate this and the output file named 'wordpadtrial.exe'.
Application of a Time Trial is accomplished through the 'Evaluation Settings'
menu. The 'Enable Evaluation Protection' checkbox must be checked to
begin. Under
the 'Protection Settings' dialog box, a 'Program Name', 'Evaluation Password', and 'Web Site'
must be entered. We will enter 'Word Trial', 'stratusburg', and
'www.stratusburg.com', respectively. Note: The 'Program Name' entered in the
'Protection Settings' box directly corresponds with the 'Program Name' displayed
in the 'Title Bar' of the encapsulated program's 'Registration Dialog' pop-up.
Be careful to name it appropriately.
Select an 'Expiration Mode' from the menu at right.
We will choose to 'Limit the # of Days allowed' and enter '30' in the field
below.
Click 'Lock' to begin encapsulation.
A dialog box will appear, alerting the user to the new Evaluation Limited
properties of the ExeLocked executable. Select 'OK'. When the process is complete, a 'Protection Results' menu will appear,
including mention
of an 'Evaluation Limited executable file'.
