Question

Trial or Time limited versions

Hi

Is there any (simple) way to create a time limited version of a compiled script file? For example 30 days or 10 uses etc?

If there's nothing built in does anyone know of any 3rd party solutions?

Thanks for your time.

You could write the date out to a file and check this file each time the script is run.

Would not changing the system date get around this?

I think others may use an internet look up with the socket object… for number of runs you would only need an integer so no problem in writing that to file… You didn't actually say which language or OS so do you mean ExtendScript and both? With AppleScript you would just store a script 'property' variable and check or change on each run… It would have been nice to find something like this in the ESTK too…
