Trial Operation

PowerTCP Trials are now separate installs that do not interfere with already installed licensed products. PowerTCP Trial dlls contain ".Trial" in their filenames. For example, the trial version of "Dart.PowerTCP.EmailValidation.dll" is "Dart.PowerTCP.EmailValidation.Trial.dll". For questions concerning trial operation, contact the Sales Department at sales@dart.com.

Trial Notification in Development Mode

A trial notification screen will appear when the component is added to a form, or when a Project using the component is first opened. It will then reappear once every hour or so.

Trial Notification During Run-Time

Trial components are fully-functional components. Applications compiled with trial components have a seven day lifespan. For the first three days, applications execute as if the trial component is licensed. In the remaining four days, applications show a trial reminder when started. After these four days (seven days since compilation), a trial expired message appears and applications no longer run.

The developer may Rebuild his Project at any time to reset the trial countdown.

The separate PowerTCP trial install will allow coexistence of licensed versions and trial versions of PowerTCP products. It is no longer necessary to uninstall a licensed product to test a newer trial version.

Once a licensed version is purchased, existing applications developed with trial dlls must be Rebuilt. Prior to Rebuilding, the trial dll should be replaced in References, and trial component(s) should be replaced on forms.
