KeyedAccess

When you put a product up for sale, there is no better way to advertise it than by offering a sample so that users can realize how much they actually need it, at which point the money is already in your pocket.

The same applies to software, which developers entrust users with for testing purposes before they have to decide whether or not they want to purchase said program. KeyedAccess is a piece of software enabling you to restrict access to your applications by imposing various demo or trial limitations.

Being a Microsoft Access add-on, the program helps you manage product key or unlock code validation tasks, which means you can allow access to a program for a particular amount of time. The trial period can be based on days, uses, or record insertions.

Apart from that, the program can help you with license renewal procedures since it can enforce such an event at indicated intervals, with the user being reminded about the end of the trial period. It is worth pointing out that a Terminal Services environment makes the entire process intuitive for users.

At the same time, generating user- or machine-specific unlock codes with the help of this tool is possible, and in case you encounter any issues, resorting to the integrated wizard should help you figure things out and protect your software from unauthorized use.
