Expiration Date Technique

Does anybody have any clever technique to implement an expiration date in a
WinForms app, such that it could outsmart any user who tries to change the
system clock to avoid expiration?

Re: Expiration Date Technique

If it's just the system clock you want to be able to beat, you can have your
application retrieve the current date from a server via a web service,
rather than the client pc. It would mean that the client would have to have
an Internet connection as a requirement for using your applicaiton, but
that's not as big of a deal as it once was.
