Time limited demo

Has anyone got any advice for time-limiting an app? I need to beta test but I want to limit the experience to 10 days (or so).

Regards,

dalkin,

Simply compare the seconds with a value equal to the seconds 10 days from now. Simply put:

constant kBuildDate = 1191970419 -- 10/10/07

if the seconds > kBuildDate + 864000 then quit

Of course, you probably want to handle quitting in a more sophisticated way.

Best,

Mark

Thanks Mark - much appreciated, I'd been fiddling around with system dates and I'd been getting hopelessly lost!
