Problem with _StringEncrypt() in autoit and scite

[angel83]

It doesn't work for me with version 3.3.16.1 autoit and with Scite 4.4.6 it gives me an error, can you help me?

#include <Date.au3>
#include <String.au3>

; Put the name of your  script here
$sScript_Name = "Your_Script_Name_Here"

; This part writes the date to the registry the first time the script is run
If RegRead("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version", $sScript_Name) = "" Then
    RegWrite("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version", $sScript_Name, "REG_SZ", _StringEncrypt(1, _NowCalc(), @ComputerName))
    SetError(0)
EndIf

; This part reads the encypted date from the registry
$sStartDate = _StringEncrypt(0, RegRead("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version", $sScript_Name), @ComputerName)

; And this part decides if 30 days have passed!
If _DateDiff("D", $sStartDate, _NowCalc()) > 30 Then
    MsgBox(0, $sScript_Name, "Your trial period has expired.")
    Exit
EndIf

; And here is the rest of your script!!!!

Please be so kind and post the error message you get.
Seems like the function was removed way back in version 3.3.9.8.

Please see the changelog as well:

Removed: Documentation and example for _StringEncrypt(). Scripts should be updated to use the Crypt functions instead. Look at _Crypt_EncryptData() for an alternative example."
