Re: Demo protection - Fixed life

Everything can be cracked, but this should add reasonable protection:

If the hardcoded date is ok compared to the date returned by the OS, you
should also scan the harddisk for files with a timestamp in the future
compared to the OS date. If you scan windows folder, temp folder etc,
something will usually show up, if the user has been messing with the date
settings.

I am looking for something that allows me to create my programs as demo
that has a fixed lifespan, such as a fixed date or number of executions. I
can hard code a date in the program but I was told that it can easily be
bypassed. I prefer to not have any other files to distribute other than my
own application and that the protection is built-in the program. A quick
and simple protection scheme is what I am looking for with a reasonable
level of protection.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Andy
