Developer’s Description

Turn your applications into a shareware or demo edition.

Shareware Guard is a component for shareware developers using Delphi that will instantly make your application into a shareware or demo edition. It limits the user to evaluate your application by a date or some days. The user must purchase a license file from you before the evaluation expires, or the application will be locked until a valid license file is added into your application. A license number and expiration date can also be specified in the license file. This means you cannot only make the license expire after a date, but also you can limit the max number in a license. Shareware Guard can also lock your application to a user name, or a computer identified by the hard disk serial number, CPU ID, or network adaptor's MAC. This will prevent the user from distributing a registered version of your application to other computers.

Version 2 adds multi-language programming, License Manager, and Language Editor.
