To build a trialware release of your product, set this property to No. This is the default setting. InstallShield will wrap a trialware shell around the executable file (.exe, .dll, .ocx, or .scr) specified in the Trialware view. The executable file can be unwrapped and used only according to the license settings that you configure, such as the trial limit (a specified number of days or a specified number of uses).

To build a release of your product that does not have the trialware protection, set this property to Yes. If you set this property to Yes, you can use this release if you want to test the installation of your product but you do not want to test the trialware run time. You also may want to build a release without trialware protection if you distribute the Try and Die type of trialware to prospective customers. You can give them the unprotected release when they have finished evaluating your product and they purchase it from you.

If you test a Try and Die product by running the protected trial version, it will expire at the end of the trial period; you will not be able to test your product further on the same test machine without removing the license. If you test a Try and Buy/Product Activation product by running and activating the protected trial version, you will not be able to restart the entire Try and Buy/Product Activation experience without removing the license. To learn how to remove a license from a test machine, see Testing a Trialware Release of Your Product in the InstallShield Help Library.

If you have not added a trialware file to your project in the Trialware view, the Disable Trialware Build property has no effect on the release build.
