Timelock is a program, actually some code, that implements an id unlock code for nsbasic users making shareware. I wrote it to simplify things so programmers can use it to protect their software and let others "try before they buy". I've compiled two programs, entitled,"TimeLock" and "IDgenerator", as well as provided code listings for them. You use the id generator to do just that. Obviously, feel free to change the way the program makes ids, which currently is just the ASCII sum of the characters of the username, divided by 3. The other program, "Timelock", uses the same algorithm to accept a code you might provide by email, etc. Obviously, if you change one, you'll have to change the other. I hope you understand the code. It's not commented, so you'll have to invest a little of your time. To change the default trial period (which is currently 30 days), you must change the value of D in the program "TimeLock". It uses minutes as its default unit. (43,200 minutes=30 days). This is all freeware, to be used and modified as you wish. Have Fun and I hope you make some cool programs to sell!
