You'd probably have to store that information outside of your program in a text file or better the registry.

A text file would be too easy to delete or modify, so I'd go with the registry.

Of course, each time your program ran, it would have to read this information and make a determination on whether it should continue. This would require that you have some limit hardcoded into your FormLoad event with which it can make a comparison.

Is this for a demo of a program that you hope to market and sell?

If so, good luck!
