    Deploy a program as Demo or Trial [Resolved]

    I dunno if this is the proper place to put my query... Is there an existing program to make a full program for distribution that will expire for a period of time? If you know a vb program or a site pls do share. Thanks

    I would imagine there are OCX's or classes, etc that probably can do this. But your best bet would to design your own scheme, that is, if you're capable of designing a unique enough system so that it won't be so easy to defeat as I'd bet openly available ones are.

    You can try ActiveLock. I've never used it. The approach I use is to distribute my app with many of the main functions disabled and the user can't use those functions until they register. The code for my registration process is in the A program registration scheme link in my signature.
