Hi Friedrich,
Right now I verify the MP stuff when the installer runs. Works fine. But I
would like to verify it when the user enters it. Is there any problem with
using a small SB stub exe that just verifies the MP and sticks the
expiration date in there (I use an INI file in the common documents folder
to store the MP code in for verification)
Something like:
If Loc:MP
Run(CheckMP.exe)
Loc:MPDate = GetIni(...)
Display(Loc:MPDate)
End
That way I could also have the checkmp.exe write any errors to the ini that
I could then pick up. What do you think?
