- minitoar 6y agoI think op is talking about licenses, not drm.
- ktm5j 6y agooh, whoops
- krferriter 6y agoI mean it's perfectly possible to have a license that legally expires at a certain time. Most businesses, in an effort to avoid fine liabilities, will follow the legal terms. Periodic online activation definitely helps increase compliance rate, but in terms of true, total compliance enforcement, it's a DRM situation, it's not possible.
- orev 6y agoA license is a legal agreement, and good luck arguing in court that you live in a different time than everyone else. You’re talking about the mechanics of how a license key would work, which is really not what is being discussed.
- anoncake 6y agoYou'd have to change the system clock of your legal system.
