%JulianDate%

[Bruce]

Does this look right? I would like to dump after 15 days.

%JulianDate% = System.GetDateTime ( "Date", "Julian Date")
%DaysSinceBuilt% = Evaluate (%JulianDate% - #JulianDate#)
IF (%DaysSinceBuilt% >= 15)
%Result% = Dialog.MessageBox ("OOPS!", "This CD Has Now Expired! Plea...", Ok, Stop)
Application.Exit
END IF

Re: %JulianDate%

Unless I am mistaken, this will dump 15 days after build time, not the first time they run the app

Re: %JulianDate%

Bruce, I am very intersetd in having a cd expire in a certain amount of time. At least the interface will,right?. Could you tell me how to insert this information and where, I am not real familiar with code and variables. Thanks

Re: %JulianDate%

Derek, I read the information I just have no clue where to put it. I got to the projects "On Initiliaze" section but ran out of gas there. I think if I can figure this out a lot of other mysteries will unfold. Any chances of a step by step?

Try this, you'll need to change the amount of days it allows and the message the end user gets.
