RyanPotter Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 (edited) Hey guys, here's a bit of an odd question I had: How would I write a script so that a program could only be activated by another program? For example, I'd have the main part of the program on my computer, but it wouldn't function unless I had a CD/Floppy/Flash Drive with the proper program on it in the computer. Any ideas? Oh, and also, is there a way to make a sort of "free trial" of a program which refuses to function after a certain number of time or uses? Thanks in advance guys!

BALA Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 For the free trial question: Probably have a variable set in the registry, of which you add 1 every time the program is used. Then have the program check once it reaches a certain number and if it has, the program will display a message saying that the free trial has ended.

If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
