I did answer you in the previous topic back in October 2024 and supplied full working code, all you had to do was paste in your code where indicated.

I also advised that this was easy to bypass and that you should also look into obfuscation and how to create an encrypted jsxbin and provided links to articles on "securing" your code:

I am really not sure what more I could have done and what more you expect? You are obviously selling your script/plugin and crowdsourcing free code and advice. You get what you pay for. Where's my cut?  :]

I would like to help you on this. I have tried many times to create some expiration date script, The only problem I've encountered is that once the date has expired, if you put an earlier date on the PC, it continues to work normally. Unfortunately, if you want to make it work you need a database on the internet and to date I have not been able to do so. I am sorry.

However I used this method to create the trial, As mentioned, if one port is old from the previous PC it continues to work. This is the method.

@MJ ST You may wish to consider your attitude.
You have been given the solution, by Stephen Marsh who volunteers his time in this community, in two separate threads. For some reason you do not seem to want to accept that as the solution. If it does not work for you, then please explain where it it is not working.

Note though, that this is a forum for advice and help with scripting, not a forum to request that someone writes scripts for you.
