I have looked through couple of threads about making the trial application to be expired within certain time. Most of the advice is to set a timer and store it in somewhere in the system with encrytion. Then later decrypt and compare with the date installed in the system.

View 9 RepliesI have VB Express and I need to make my sofware expire on a certain date. I do not want it like a trial period, I want every edition of the software to expire at the same time (15/02/12). I also do not want the software to be tricked if the system clock is put back so it needs to store the date the software is first launched and calculate the diference so it knows the true date. When the software has expired I need a message box to open, with a yes and no button. If the user clicks the yes button an IE window opens to my channel on youtube and if they click no the program exits. I have tried everything but I can't work it out.

View 1 RepliesI have set up a simple quiz where you drop answers to the correct question. I have implemented a system where the are 18 text boxes (9 for questions, 9 for answers) and it can be customised but I want the questions to be able to be 'saved's since it in another form the if I give them special names when I close the form and open it again it has lost the values. Is there a way to remember the variables for a set period of time (cookies?) or if not just for that session?

View 1 RepliesIs there a way to code, so that if your program freezes over a period of time (5sec), it just stops trying to do it, and goto something else.
"On ERROR" wont work, since its not a error. "Try" doesnt work ether.
Its because I'm am programming something that can login to a router thought telnet, and sometimes the telnet ActiveX doesn't read the buffer or the line proberly, so when the .GetLine() func is called, it freezes. And i want away to goto another point if it keeps freezing for more than 5secounds. The telnet ActiveX that, I am using is Dimac w3sock.

I am developing an application that prompts an user for doing certain tasks in a form. What i want is that a certain message should be popped for a certain amount of time and then close (probably say 2 seconds or so). I tried doing it with message boxes but they do not close on their own as they are designed to be modal (to wait for user command ). i do not want to display the text in a textbox of listbox. Is there a certain way i could do this.
View 4 RepliesI know about DateDiff and TimeSpan. I am doing a project. I save a date in the registry. Now, I have to test this date against today's date and calculate the differences in minutes, hours, days, months, weeks and years.
I save the date in the registry like this:
Application.UserAppDataRegistry.SetValue("Date", [Date])
I then made a sub to calculate the differences:
Private Sub Calculate()
Try
Dim DateGen As Date
DateGen = CType([Date], Date)
Select Case TimePeriod
[Code] .....
As you can see, based on the difference between these dates ( today's date and the registry date ), a sub gets called and the program continues. Unfortunately, the minutes and hours never calls the RandomAlpha sub. How can I calculate the difference in minutes, hours etc.????
Here are my questions concerning VB 2010 Express:
1. I've registered my VB 2010 Express, will it still expire?
2. Will the applications I made using VB 2010 Express expire after some time?
3. Is it OK to write my code in the designer.vb file? I don't know why, but when I started writing my application it took me to the designer.vb instead of form1.vb code.
4. I've been working on an application for a week now, but suddenly I can no longer access my Design View(Shift-F7). All my codes are written on the [form name].Designer.vb. I can still view my codes but I cant access my form layout. On the solution explorer, my forms no longer have the 'form icon'. When i press Shift-F7 nothing happens. Right-clicking the form on the solution explorer doesn't show 'View Designer' option. How can I fix this?

View 7 RepliesI am writing an application that I want to give to a select number of customers.
What is the best solution to use so that after the trail period (1 month) the application will no longer work.
I was thinking that if they are interested in purchasing the software I will give them a license key or something, to unlock the application. However, I would like to make this unique to every computer.
I am have a very limited budget as I am working on my own. So is there any free 3rd party products that does this?
I was thinking of writing the date the application was installed in the system registry, and each time the application loads it will check if this date is over one month. However, the user could turn back the date on their computer.
Another, solution I was to have the application run some many times. For example, the user can only run 30 times. Then it will lock.
