Demo version help

[Guest Mike99]

Hi All.

Anyone have a sample script or sample code that stores a value (registry ?) so that the program only works for a specific amount of time??

For example, the program only works for 14 days and then they would have to purchase a registered version?

It doesn't have to be complex but I'd like any examples of any copy protection anyone has done.

Thanks. You all have been great!

; AutoIt Version: 3.0
; Language:    English
; Platform:    Win9x/NT
; Author:        Jonathan Bennett (jon@hiddensoft.com)
;
; Script Function:
;   Demonstrates the InputBox, looping and the use of @error.
;


; Prompt the user to run the script - use a Yes/No prompt (4 - see help file)
$answer = MsgBox(4, "AutoIt Example (English Only)", "This script will open an input box and get you to type in some text.  Run?")


; Check the user's answer to the prompt (see the help file for MsgBox return values)
; If "No" was clicked (7) then exit the script
If $answer = 7 Then
    MsgBox(4096, "AutoIt", "OK.  Bye!")
    Exit
EndIf

; Loop around until the user gives a valid "autoit" answer
$bLoop = 1
While $bLoop = 1
    $text = InputBox("AutoIt Example", "Please type in the word ""autoit"" and click OK")
    If @error = 1 Then
        MsgBox(4096, "Error", "You pressed 'Cancel' - try again!")
    Else
       ; They clicked OK, but did they type the right thing?
        If $text <> "autoit" Then
            MsgBox(4096, "Error", "You typed in the wrong thing - try again!")
        Else
            $bLoop = 0   ; Exit the loop - ExitLoop would have been an alternative too :)
        EndIf
    EndIf
WEnd

; Print the success message
MsgBox(4096,"AutoIt Example", "You typed in the correct word!  Congrats.")

; Finished!
