What you can do is to develop a small "helper" application in SetupBuilder
to handle this. SetupBuilder does NOT only generate installations ;-)

Create a blank script (File | New... | Blank Script...) and use the "Verify
Subscription Key..." function to retrieve the "expiration date".

The %_SB_RETURNEX% variable value holds two SetupBuilder List Items
containing the expiration date and expiration version of the subscription
key.

BTW, to get the expiration date (List Item #1) out of such a List, you can
use the "Handle String Operation (List Item: Get)" function.

Then write the expiration date to a file that can be accessed by your
application (using "Edit INI File..." or "Handle Text File Operation...").

From your application, call this helper application, read the expiration
date and display it, etc.

Hope this helps.

Friedrich
