Setting An Expiration Date On Indicator

emersond · #1 (**permalink**) 10-01-2006, 10:06 PM

How do you set an expiration date for an indicator; so that when that date
is reached the indicator ceases to operate?

I found this code; but all it does is create an alert. However, the indicator still works.

if ((Day() >= 02) && (Month() >= 10) && (Year() >= 2006))
{
Alert("Trial has ended. Please contact youremailaddress@whatever.com");
return(0);
}

Thanks in advance for any help on this matter.

if (Curtime()<D'2006.10.02 00:00')
{
indicator work.......
}
else
{
alert(...);
}

phoenix,

how about so it can only be used in one computer and the licensing key? not that it will be commercialized; just so it will be for limited users and controlled distribution only.

thanks,

give your customer a register no. that only your customer will know

like my reg. no. = G4258DLLK8

then
if(regno==G4258DLLK8)
{
those code above
}
else
{
Alert("Incorrect Register No.");
}
------------------------------
but this is a manual process

thanks again, phoenix. manual process is fine since it is not for mass distribution. i will give it a try and let you know.

phoenix,

I used your codes as you have indicated in your previous posts here. However, I am still getting an error when I compiled it. Would you please help fix it. Here is what I have done:

Code:

if (Curtime()<D'2006.10.02 00:00')
{
"XWZ works"
else
{
Alert("Current Use License Expired. Please contact XWZ@yahoo.com");
}

if(regno==G4258DLLK8)
{
"those code above"
}
else
{
Alert("Incorrect Register No.");
}

Here is the error message I am getting:
'\end_of_program' - more than 1 symbol

I truly appreciate your help.

}

if(regno==G4258DLLK8)
{
"those code above"
}

{
Alert("Incorrect Register No.");
}

So if I wanted an indicator to work for two weeks from today 10/09/06 how would I set the code?

Is this correct?

if (Curtime()>D'2006.10.23 00:00')
{
"Auto Trader trial period"
}
else
{
alert("End of trial period");
}

datetime allowtime = D'2006.10.01 00:00';
datetime allowto = D'2006.10.13 00:00';

if(CurTime()>allowtime && CurTime()<allowto)
{
............................your code inside this
}
