Hi,
Is there a way to set a date for the expiry of the Installer itself so it wont run the installer if it passes that date.
Lets say Im building an installer and its Jan 2017 and I want it not to run and just show a message box that the installer has expired, if they try to run it after 20t Feb 2017. Is there a way to set that?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Re: Set Expiry date for the Installer itself
Dear Aziaaddini,
there aren't built in methods that can be used to set an expiration date of the installer. Anyway, you could always write a small script code that verifies the system date of the target machine ("DATE" pre-defined script variable) in order to conditionally terminate the install.
Alternatively, you may use the "Trialware and DRM page" (From IA IDE -> Design View -> Deployment) to protect your applications using InstallAware Digital Rights Management.
Hope this helps you.
