You need to be looking at licensing. This is a very broad subject and IMO
supported very poorly in MSDN because obviously, everybody has their own
idea of how licensing should go.

Basically you need to have a licensing component that knows on what day iw
was installed and fails 15 days after..

Of course. if you just want to do this for *one* test you can use datetime
and an absolute timeout.

About the Office Pro 2007 Trial version: I don't want to upgrade by download

by: julietbrown | last post by:

I hope this is an OK Q for this site? I'm 2/3 of the way through my 60 day trial of Office Pro 2007. I do want to get a full licence, BUT I'd much rather buy it on memory sticks or CDs and install it myself, and not only because it's slightly cheaper from PC World. If I don't upgrade from the trial via MS website, does anyone know what will happen at the end of the trial period? Will some "Wizard" step in and sort out getting my trial...

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
