Good Shutdown Mechanism

[Derek Hart]

I send a database out to a client, and I need a good methodology for a shut
down mechanism. I thought about simply using an encryption algorithm to
encrypt/descrypt a date, and then require an encrypted password to enter a
new date into the system. Any good ideas on this? I am using SQL Server
with a dotnet program.
