Perhaps the easiest yet still difficult to crack way to is to put the following code into the Variables section of the MainCode.

Code: [Select]

Global startTime
Global endTime

if startTime=0 then
    @ Get start time
    Put DateNowFN into startTime

    @ Make end time - 30 days
    Put 3600 into endTime
    Multiply endTime by 24
    Multiply endTime by 30
    Add startTime to endTime
EndIf
and also use the QuitSave(1) command to exit your program - this ensures that all variables are saved.

To check if the program has expired, use this code somewhere as your program starts up - perhaps in the card's open handler. In the User Reg example it could go in the card's open handler to display the expired message.

Code: [Select]

Global endTime
Local   time

Put DateNowFN into time

if time>endTime then
    Message 'Expired'
    QuitSave(1)
endif

You could use a text file stored somewhere but hackers could find it.
