How to know Inventor is NOT online?

[liminma8458]

Hi, Experts,

In Inventor 2023, there is a new icon to show whether you connect to Inventor or not. If you are offline, you will run Inventor in a trial mode. You will be denied access to Inventor if you go offline for more then 30 days.

So, is there any API I can use to detect the trial mode and the days remaining. I am creating an Addin with entitlement API for the APP store, I would like to follow the Inventor way to give the user 30 days offline usage before he reconnects to Internet again.

Thanks in advance

Hi Limin,

Currently we don't have Inventor API to tell the how long the Inventor is offline, this is an internal function for license management. You can find some sample code online to detect HTTP access status for your addin, or set a timebomb started from when users install your addin.
