When I do a Subscription Key validity check, I then have access to the variable %_SB_RETURNEX%. However, it is in the format yyyymmdd followed by a CRLF. Can it be parsed inside the installer to get it into the format mm/dd/yyyy? I have not been able to find a SubString function inside SB6.

If not, I can grab %_SB_RETURNEX% during the SB install and place it in a registry key or INI file. My program exe can then parse it and place the result in another registry key or in the INI file under a different name. Now when my program needs to display the expiration date, it could read that from the registry key or ini file.

Any suggestions?
