Hi,
in any case you should use GeGetVersionType() & VERSION_SAVABLEDEMO. Not == because the returned LONG value is considered a bit field in this case not directly a digit (though it of course will still work but you are on the safe side this way).

Okay so I tried this in the main.cpp..
Bool PluginStart(void)
{
// example of installing a crashhandler
old_handler = C4DOS.CrashHandler; // backup the original handler (must be called!)
C4DOS.CrashHandler = SDKCrashHandler; // insert the own handler
//GePrint("PLANET X GENERATOR IS AVAILABLE FOR DEMO USE ONLY!");
if (GeGetVersionType() &VERSION_SAVABLEDEMO_ACTIVE || VERSION_SAVABLEDEMO || VERSION_DEMO)
{
GePrint("PLANET X GENERATOR IS AVAILABLE FOR DEMO USE ONLY!");
}
else
{
GePrint("NOT THE DEMO");
GePrint("THE VERSION TYPE IS " + LongToString(GeGetVersionType()));
if (!IsSerialOKHook()) return FALSE; //don't load plugins if key is wrong
}
// Planet Object
if (!RegisterPlanet()) return FALSE;
// Sun Object
if (!RegisterSun()) return FALSE;
// Space Object
if (!RegisterSpace()) return FALSE;
//SERIAL NUMBER
if (!RegisterPlanetXSerial()) return FALSE;
return RegisterPlanet() && RegisterSun() && RegisterSpace();
}
When I am in the demo mode I get the plugin enabled and I am able to use it and as expected, the console prints out....
PLANET X GENERATOR IS AVAILABLE FOR DEMO USE ONLY!
However, when I am using my registered copy of the plugin, I am also able to use it and the console prints out...
PLANET X GENERATOR IS AVAILABLE FOR DEMO USE ONLY!
Why do you think this is happening?

Well... thanks to a heaping helping of kindness from Cactus Dan, this problem has been solved. Here's the final working code for the PluginStart();
Bool PluginStart(void)
{
// example of installing a crashhandler
old_handler = C4DOS.CrashHandler; // backup the original handler (must be called!)
C4DOS.CrashHandler = SDKCrashHandler; // insert the own handler
//GePrint("PLANET X GENERATOR IS AVAILABLE FOR DEMO USE ONLY!");
if(GeGetVersionType()&VERSION_SAVABLEDEMO_ACTIVE || GeGetVersionType()&VERSION_SAVABLEDEMO || GeGetVersionType()&VERSION_DEMO)
{
GePrint("PLANET X GENERATOR IS AVAILABLE FOR DEMO USE ONLY!");
}
else
{
GePrint("NOT THE DEMO");
GePrint("THE VERSION TYPE IS " + LongToString(GeGetVersionType()));
if (!IsSerialOKHook()) return FALSE; //don't load plugins if key is wrong
}
// Planet Object
if (!RegisterPlanet()) return FALSE;
// Sun Object
if (!RegisterSun()) return FALSE;
// Space Object
if (!RegisterSpace()) return FALSE;
//SERIAL NUMBER
if (!RegisterPlanetXSerial()) return FALSE;
return RegisterPlanet() && RegisterSun() && RegisterSpace();
}

The line looks strange to me:
GeGetVersionType() &VERSION;_SAVABLEDEMO_ACTIVE || VERSION_SAVABLEDEMO || VERSION_DEMO
Shouldn't it be:
GeGetVersionType() == VERSION_SAVABLEDEMO_ACTIVE || VERSION_SAVABLEDEMO || VERSION_DEMO
[EDIT]Oh no, wait. Forget about this. & is correct.[/EDIT]

Actually, that looks strange to me, too:
// Planet Object
if (!RegisterPlanet()) return FALSE;
// Sun Object
if (!RegisterSun()) return FALSE;
// Space Object
if (!RegisterSpace()) return FALSE;
//SERIAL NUMBER
if (!RegisterPlanetXSerial()) return FALSE;
return RegisterPlanet() && RegisterSun() && RegisterSpace();
So, you first try to register the plugins. When this succeeds, you register them all again and return the result? Why don't you just return TRUE at the end of the function, since they're already registered?

GeGetVersionType() returns a bit mask. So you have to check against your own bit mask.
Remember that || and & & are compare operators.
| and & are bit mask operators.
Following line of code checks if the result of GeGetversionType() has one of the specified bits set.
if (GeGetVersionType() & (VERSION_SAVABLEDEMO_ACTIVE | VERSION_SAVABLEDEMO | VERSION_DEMO))
{
//do something
}

Yes. You have already called all Register functions before, so if the function reaches this point, you can just return TRUE. If one of the Register functions does not work out (returns FALSE) the PluginStart function is cancelled anyway and FALSE is returned.

VERSION_DEMO is not used anymore since the R11 demo version.

hmm, it seems to me that the demo does not call SNCheck at all. Is that right?
The demo version doesn't support the SNHookClass because it has no Personalioze dialog anyway.
Check in C4DPL_INIT_SYS for the Cinema version (that's where you would register the SNHookClass too).
cheers,
