Hi, I'm writing an activation system for a software, which allows a 15 days
grace period. Now the question is... how can I store the date? It has to be
kept even if the software is reinstalled, and it must not be too easy to
find/delete. I could write a hidden file somewhere in the system or hide it
in the registry, but if it is a limited XP account, I'm quite limited. Any
genious idea!? I tried Isolated Storage, but just moving the assembly files
creates a new Isolated Storage, so it's of no use.

Thanks!

Etienne
Getting a beta version out soon...

Excellent link :-)
