Any way to get the date the disc was burned? Or maybe check the modify date. Will the modify date change if the client copies the file?

Here's some ideas off the top of my head. 1) you could put in a timeout into the projector & inform the client that they have 1 week or however much you deem appropriate. OR 2) you could put a file on your website that contains a 'key' & read it with getNetText (of course this requires that the client be connected to the web) & inform the client that the application can be remotely disabled (remove the key). & the projector could display 'authenticating demo display' or something along that line, so that they understand/believe this. & then of course you can remove the key so that even if they copy the CD, & nothing will work. (& then the projector could put up a big pirate skull & crossbones or something like that) hth -Buzz At 11:41 PM -0700 6/19/05, you wrote: >Hi Tom, > >Actually i want the client to see the demo only, I want to prevent him >from making its illegal copies and distribute to any 3rd parties by >replicating the CD. > >I know its not easy, but can you guide me in a proper way.
