Right. Good input. Thanks. I have shipped software with a hard-coded expiration date. What I am looking for is a "floating" expiration date that would be 30 days after installation, whether installed today or a year from today.

The CICS Betas released over the last few releases (I believe betas were/are available for 4.2, 5.1 & 5.2) have built in expiry dates. IBM states that the betas "Contain a disabling device that will prevent it from being used after the test period ends". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
