    You can do it with Adobe products - high priced server products, you keep the license centrally and the client connects to check it. This is a 5-6 figure annual fee. You can't do it with Acrobat - and most people have neither the means or interest in running a server 24/7 for license checking.

    Then it becomes a requirement, an idea for conceptualization and working towards it's development by Adobe.

    I hope Adobe would grab this idea

    Hi Asmutatkar

     

    We are sorry for the trouble. The option for date and time actuated password is yet now available. Please use the Adobe wish form https://www.adobe.com/products/wishform.html to submit your request with the engineering team.
