Question

What I was thinking was that you would have the curren

Answer 1

I know this is a 3 year old question, but just to add my 2 cents. We use a "DateLimit" hard coded in a structure as suggested by James Curran.

But we also use that same "Date" as a simple key to "crypt" and "Decrypt" (more Code and decode) all strings, labels, messages. If some people (We call them Cheaters) want to change the expiration date, They will have to go thru the whole assembly to reenter all those string correctly for the new expiration date. It's not perfect, but the cost to us is now near zero and the cost for the Cheaters is high.
