Not sure if this is the correct area of forum to post this question, but you all were so terrific in solving my AphaNumeric question -- so here goes

In a Runtime application, would like to require user to register his/her runtime (input license # I supply). Have it only work on the computer user installs run time app on. And would like to set this registration up so that it will expire in one year, requiring user to purchase an additional one year license. Of course user would get 30, 15, 10, 5 and 1 day advance warings.

Thank you.

Gonna be difficult to limit the user to one computer -- he/she can just install the software on another computer & be up and running (unless, of course, Windows XP is the software, in which case Monopolistic Big Brother is watching!).

There are ways to identify the hard drive serial number (Crypto) that the program is installed on and "locking" it to that drive. However, there are ways around it, just as there are ways around any date-based protection.

Since you have to set an global value (for starting date)there's no way you can protect it from modification (via apple script, relationship)

Quoting myself.

Well of course if you have used an signed script for setting this global,

Than you have to simply check if it was your script or something else ( as I said apple script, relationship)
