[block:code] { "codes": [ { "code": "var func = ActivationFramework.Current.FindDelegate((int) DelegateType.GetRawTrialValue) as Func<Tuple<long,long>>;\nvar trialInfo = func.Invoke();\n\nif (trialInfo.Item1 == -1 || trialInfo.Item2 == -1) \n{\n //Trial not started \n} \nelse\n{\n TrialPeriod = trialInfo.Item2; //In seconds\n TrialExpireDate = trialInfo.Item1; //In UNIX timestamp \n}", "language": "csharp" } ] } [/block] ###GetTrialTimeRemained If you use the `GetTrialTimeRemained` property, the method returns a total number of seconds left till the end of a trial period. [block:code] { "codes": [ { "code": "var func = ActivationFramework.Current.FindDelegate((int) DelegateType.GetTrialTimeRemained) as Func<long>;\nvar trialInfo = func.Invoke();\n \nif (trialInfo==-1)\n{\n //Trial not started\n}\nelse\n{\n TrialPeriodRemained = trialInfo ; //In seconds\n}", "language": "csharp" } ] } [/block] ###GetStoreLink If you use the `GetStoreLink` property, the method returns a link to the store where a user can buy a license. [block:code] { "codes": [ { "code": "var func = ActivationFramework.Current.FindDelegate((int) DelegateType.GetStoreLink) as Func<string>; \nstring storeLink = func.Invoke(); \nProcess.Start(storeLink); //Open link in default browser", "language": "csharp" } ] } [/block] Note that you can add GET parameters to the link by using this method: [block:code] { "codes": [ { "code": "DMFrameworkSettings.StoreAdditionalParameters.Add(\"key\", “value\");", "language": "csharp" } ] } [/block]
