Password expiration

[Sergeant Ron]

Is there a way to create a password that will expire after a given time once the file is accesses. I wish to distribute a free sample of my software solution, but I want it to become disabled 60 days after the 1st record is created.

Thanks, Ron

Ron -

You could script this to use a default account, and then when the first record is created set a time stamp somewhere in a system table. This way you can then at 60 days remove the account or deactivate it, preventing access.

Other methods include using third party solutions such as Nightwing Enterprises KeyCode Maker, which allows you to setup time limited demos that the user can then purchase a code and unlock the demo version.

Thanks Andy, would it be best then to define some kind of calculation limiting access in the cutom privleges? If so could you make a suggestion.
