How to create a demo db.. I want to limit the use to 100 records, how do I accomplish this?

Mar 19, 2005

I was able to get a response to a question on sorting records which was great. So I've decided to post one that I am concerned about.

Once I have completed my DB, I would like to send this out for review. How do I limit the viewing to a 30-day demo? Once the 30-day period has expired I would like the DB to prompt for a User Name and Registration Code before allowing any further access.

I�ve seen programs that use your system hardware to return a unique ID. Once you have this unique ID the user is required to provide this for a registration code unique to that machine. I just don�t want someone to copy my DB and place it onto other computers without purchasing the license from me. Is this possible without having to purchase these programs? I would also like to understand the process that the DB goes thru to return this information. I think this would help me understand how Access works.

I had thought of purchasing Installer Pro but this only stops the installation process. Once this has been placed on one computer can�t you just copy the DB and place it onto another computer? If I needed to purchase this software I would like to have the program install the unique ID in the registry and have my DB check the registry to confirm that the unique ID is there if not then it would prompt for the User Name and Unique ID and close if it didn�t match. So if someone copied my DB and placed it onto another computer (not using the installer program) then it would not detect the Unique ID in the registry and close.

Sorry I rambled on but I�m not sure if this is how it works or not. I�ve spent a lot of time developing my DB and once I have secured it I would like to keep others (less knowledgeable) from using it.

Any help or explanation would be greatly appreciated.
