While the trial user feature of the Hotspot has been very useful, we've found that the reset time for trial users is problematic as it's based on the time the user is active (Trial Uptime Reset). A lot of users seem to be expecting their trial time to reset at midnight, but only find that if they try to use the service again the next day, but an hour earlier, their time is still expired and so would have to wait another hour for the time to reset.
Is it possible to have the option of using Trial Uptime Reset or a new feature like "Trial Reset Time" where you enter the time of day that the trial user in the profile will get reset?
Thanks.
Re: Hotspot Trial User - feature request
interesting topic
A script would solve this by running every midnight and purging trial users
