I want to put a flash banner on a website which counts down to a launch date.
I'm guessing I have to get the launch date which is the number of milliseconds that have passed since Midnight 1/1/1970.
then get system current date in the same format
then subtract one from the other
then convert that number of milliseconds into days.
I am only interested in days, not hours, seconds...

unfortunately I don't even know how to begin with this script...
any advice would be welcome

thanks in advance
Mac

This is the script that I use, within Opus, to determine "how many days until..."

Code:

var EndDate = new Date(2010,6,30,0,0) // months are 0 to 11
var Today = new Date() 
var x = EndDate.getTime() 
var y = Today.getTime() 
var z = (x - y)/86400000 
DaysLeft = Math.floor(z)

Andrewq, is how to adapt your script to act as a counter of days of software installed on the User Computer?

I would like to use this script to control an final expiration date of the software that I am creating, allowing it to expire in 180 days from the final activation, in the process allowed by Eval Key Gen of Opus 6.

The problem is how to make this script work if the User uninstall the software or format the computer and reinstall the software again. Another possible behavior is to change the date to install the software to bypass the computer data. Any suggestions?

Opus already has a built in system for this which can be accessed either through the Opus dialogue or custom scripted solution.

Anything else, requires a lot of more effort which has to be weighed against the 'true' value of the object you're protecting.

The easiest 'safe' method that will prevent most circumvention is an on-line unique key check.

Mac, I do not know how to implement a protection through escripts therefore need to protect an entire software that needs to be installed on the computer User. Another problem is that most of these computers can not access the web to check the protection.

Some time ago I saw a recommendation here in the forum on a third-party software that would make this more effective protection. But I can no longer find that post.

Could you recommend some protection software that allows installation and checking of real-time protection in the PC User?

Hi,

Is this what you are looking for?

I've used this software. It works well with Opus executable pubs and provides many different advanced types of protection features.

However, for your needs, the hardware locking already available in Opus, when you set up an evaluation in the security tab, may be sufficient. Check out the Opus help files on security and evaluation versions.
