hi Michael,
how about a combination of the following:
- use saveMovie() to store text information, its safer than an external file
- store the systemdate once along with the other information, and double
check each time
whether or not that date is set to a date earlier than the one the user
had the first time.
just a thought, haven't done that myself yet

Hi list...
I need to make a projector non-functional after a certain date, and I'm
hoping to get a good strategy on how best to accomplish this. I'm
assuming I don't have access to the user's registry. I was thinking of
writing a small text file to the appData folder, but I figured that
might be too easy to alter if they change their clock. I was also
pondering having the disc check online on startMovie for a script on a
server that will return true/false, but that still might not cover
altering the date.
Has anyone done something like this before?
