I know there was a way to put an expire date in older versions.
How about SB7?

I want the installer to be invalid after 5 days

Dan,

There is an "Expiration Date Checking.sb8" demo project in the Examples
Package.

BTW, I wanted to suggest a nice Atomic Clock based solution, but there is a
bug in the latest SB81 atomic clock function. Fixed now and it will be
available in the next SB maintenance build.

I haven't made the move to 8 yet

Then try this:

http://www.lindersoft.com/projects/ExpirationDateCheckingSB7.zip

It tries to retrieve the official Atomic Date (from the Internet). If this
fails, it makes use of the system date (fall back code). After 5 days, the
installer expires.

You can remove the fallback code if you want.
