Note: If you specify both the licensing controls—lease and limited executions—the
application will expire as soon as any of these limits is reached.
7. Selecting the Add instances later check box will allow you to add
new feature instances later in the License Manager screen. This
option helps in modifying the "licensing values" without modifying
the "licensing implementation" in the application/code.
For example, the programmer who implemented the application protection
had set the expiration date as "10/10/05" and also selected
this check box. Later, if desired, the marketing/key programming personnel
can modify it to suit some customer's requirement (such as,
10/10/07) and program the Sentinel Key. This does not require you
to apply the CodeCover protection again, modify the API calls, or
repackage the product.
8. Provide a name for this feature (necessary).
One year from current date
14400 minutes (10 days)
9. The constant name will be automatically generated. However, you
may modify it, if needed.
