15 day trial???

[ph4824]

I want to make my CD-ROM menu expire after 15 days.

Now I know I have to check the box within "Menu Expiration" found in Project/Security in order to activate it.

By default I see this...

Number of days before menu expires
30
Set the following to TRUE if expired
%IsExpired%

So my question is this, do I need to change anything (obviously I need to change 30 to 15) or can I leave it set to the default settings as written above?

Cause If I have to change it to TRUE then I'm lost, I don't understand it.

The other question I have is this. How does it work? will the menu expire 15 days after created from my project or 15 days from it's first use on users PC's?

To use the %IsExpired% variable you set it in the settings -> Security tab to 15 days for example. Then you would make a project open action that closes/Exit the menu. In the close/exit action you would set the boolean condition to checks to see if %IsExpired% = True. With this method the menu will open then close immediately if the variable is set to true. The number of days that the menu will expire in is set to start when you (the Developer) builds the menu.

Thanks for a quick reply.

However, your following statement is still unclear...

"Then you would make a project open action that closes/Exit the menu. In the close/exit action you would set the boolean condition to checks to see if %IsExpired% = True".

how do i make a project open action??

[Adam]

In Project -> Settings -> Actions -> Startup you would make the close/exit action that has the boolean condition stated earlier.
