Question on installing forms.

[BFSWill]

I build custom, fillable forms. I use Adobe Acrobat Pro. I also use a program called OmniForm Pro.

As you know, the Adobe forms do not expire. Once I create them and sell them in a package, on a subscription basis, I can't fix it so that the forms stop working on a certain date. The consumer then does not pay to renew the subscription and they keep using my forms.

OmniForm Pro builds the forms as exe files. So, each form is a program. You double click on the form icon, fill it out and print it.

Both of these forms formats work really slick. Again, my problem is that once users initially buy the forms, they don't pay again for the subscription because I can't stop the forms from working.

I have Setup Factory 6.0. Do any of you have any ideas on how to create a setup file, installer package that will allow me to plug in a date wherein the forms will stop working on a certain date?

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

This type of protection is not suited to the installer. Basically once the files are installed on the system then Setup Factory has no more control. You would need to look into other third party "Software Protection" tools.
