Assume that you give a company a time limited copy of your software that
will expire on 12/31/05. Using this method allows a company to install it on as many PCs as they wish with a single demo unlock code.(Software Passport/Armadillo) You really cannot protect your software with time limited trials if you cannot set the computer clock from an NTP source during install. People can always set back the time on their PC. Once it expires, they simply install it on another PC with the clock set back. So then I suppose the best thing to do, is to require an internet connection for software activation, where activation is simply syncing with an NTP server during install. Does anybody have an easy way of doing this inside of Setup Builder? (I didn't think that this was a real scenario until I learned the hard way it was, and was being analyzed by a competitor.)
