Access DB Distribution

I have created a DB which I believe some people would be interested in
purchasing.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to create trial period databases, and
perhaps databases that need some sort of key to be entered to enable full
use? How have people managed this?
Many thanks
Jamie

Have a look at http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/demo.htm for some ideas.

In addition to the link Joan offered, here are a few more:

Look for the downloads:
"Updated have Database Expire After 30 Days Of Use"

"Updated have Database Expire After 30 Days Of First Being Opened."

Peter De Baets has a product called KeyedAccess that will do this I believe:

Paul Overway has something similar here:

--Go to Add-ins/Extras area and look for "Logico Solutions MDB Lock"

Good luck,
