I am trying to find information on various methods of disabling software
after a certain time or number of uses. I would prefer that the user not be
able to just set their clock back and continue to use the program. As well
various registry hiding techniques will be needed. I am specifically trying
to limit the use of a software library which will be used in other
applications. If anybody can point me in the right direction or has some
useful hints I would really appreciate it. Thanks ahead of time.
