This is great feature and very powerful. Trying to implement it for one of
our product but have been confused how to. Is there any step-by-step
instruction of how to implement Subscription and Maintenance feature for the
product (including developing initial setup file and subsequent versions
etc)? I have read chm manual and there are a few topics about it but no
full step-by-step concept.

Thank you!

Hi Friedrich,

Great to read about your continued success, Congratulations!
I just renewed my SetupBuilder Dev.Edition subscription, updated my SB to
latest build and have started the process of updating myself as well<g>
The SB55 is impressive, and I'm looking forward using it for all our new EDI
software.

It was real nice meeting you in Cambridge :-)

Hello,

Please see documentation for the "Verify Subscription Key" script function
and for "Create Subscription Key".

What you have to do is:

1. Create a unique subscription key for your customer (e.g. based on a
serial number) using Tools|Create Subscription Key... We are working
on a solution to allow mass generation of subscription keys and
just-in-time subscription key generation.

2. In the installer, display Edit Data [Multiple-Line] dialog box so the
customer can paste his/her subscription key. Write subscription key
into the registry so the next update/install can look for it.

3. In the installer, use "Verify Subscription Key" script function to
validate subscription. If it's not valid (expired, wrong key, etc.)
terminate the installation.

That's it

Does this help?

More or less <g>. BTW thank you for this tutorial and do you have some sb5
script that demonstrate all these in one setup? Each of steps above are very
complex and to easy to find right solution for it.

We are working on White Papers to make this more clear! In fact, it only
takes less than two minutes to implement serial number protection and the
subscription verification!
