Dear Experts,

I have a small utility software(Asp.net,C#), which can be downloaded from a website.
I want to track visitor and installation of my software as i need to you affiliates on "pay per install basis".

I am not looking for spoon feeding simply looking for a path and guidance from knowledge masters.

Thanks in advance.

Installation software isn't ASP.NET :)

I would say you have to provide initial screen with required registration data. If you want to permit temporary use, you might take only name and card number and in-program generated identification (maybe guid). That way you don't require payment immediately and you can control the length of "free" use.

If not, then you simply prevent the use unless the payment has been made (and be sure to register the payment locally somehow, so that once the license is paid, the use doesn't have to be online.

If it is monthly license, you could simply write the date of the last payment into encrypted config file or users registry - along with reminders week, three days and one day before the program stops working.
