Hi List, Thanks everyone for the active mindstorming!!
Actually I want the user to see the work without any "demo only" message/watermarks. It should be working on any date but only from the cd we are handing over to the user. Brian pointed out about checking the creation date. But in todays CD writers we can choose either the files original date or the date we actually burn it. Also he can copy the files after manually changing the Date on the system to the original date. So that don't do. Its not a demo cd so allowing the program to run for a selected days/weeks/months won't do much. Hardware protection will be more expensive and so we not going for that. Also we can do this during glass masterting but that too not viable now. Its the final cd we are planning to give user. But he should not be able to replicate all the files to another CD. I think I made it clear now. I know that, there are solutions for this using some CD writing programs. They actually do this by adding another illegal data/track to the cd which is illegal TOC can't be copied to any other machine but our program will run ok as it was written on the right track. Some game develpers are doing this. But don't know where to find some guidance. Regards, Biju George. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
