Trialware

[rjhare]

OK, this may have been asked before, and I apologise in advance! I want to make my program trialware with a 28 day limit for all functionality. I do NOT want to use the getsetting/savesetting procedure. Can someone help me please?

Thanks in advance

rj-
What about setting up a text file for holding the date when the program is first run, and then just do the math to see if you will allow the program to load?

1. if file exist, then read date; else, create file and write date
2. in the form_load section
if current date is < filedate + 30 then proceed, else end

Of course, this wouldn't be fail safe. The user could erase the file.

Yes well, the only thing is when lots of people use the same thing it probably already has been cracked, yash kumar is soon going to bring out a ocx for piracy (www.lockx.com)

Good advice - thanks. I should really be able to write one myself. Especially as the prog I am developing is a 2048 bit encryption program!!

Again, thanks for the advice
