If you want such strenuous copy protection I suggest you use a dongle. A number
of brands are available. If your program provides something that no other
program without such copy protection provides then you may be able to sell it.
If you do't use a dongle you may be able to key on something in the system
configuration. By doing that you can be sure that your program will not run if
the user upgrades the system. You might even be able to force her (or him) to
buy another copy of your program that way, or buy a competing program.

Don't ever use a time bomb! That will ruin your sales and make many prople angry
- possibly enough to sue you if you destroy something intrinsic to their
business.

I don't know what you mean by "stimalatious." I can't find the word in my
dictionary. Perhaps you mean "simultaneous?"
