How to protect REXX code by applying some expiration date.

Hi All,

We have developed a tool (runs by REXX macro) in REXX having 8-10 calling/called code modules.
If we give it to some other group/team, we want to apply a protective way so that the group would be able to use it only for few days(4-5 days) after that the tool will be locked.

Is it possible using REXX If yes then please suggest.

Thanks in advance.

Is the group outside your current company/shop? What if they clone it in those 4-5 days?

May be just remove the library altogther whenever you wish too!

Moderators,

could you move this thread to the
IDIOT/STUPID QUESTIONS Forum, please.

only if the rexx is compiled.

REXX normally does not do anything particularly special. For example, if the REXX program updates a file, likely, the user can update that same file using their own REXX program. It is the file that needs to be locked up, not the rexx program.
