create executable + license

[diedro]

Dear all,

I would like to create an executable with my Fortran program. However, I would like associate to it a license with a deadline.

Is it possible?

How can I do it?

Thanks a lot,

Diego

You will need to find a license management library and use it. There are numerous commercial libraries for this, some cost more than others. Maybe there are some free ones too, but I don't know of any.

I suppose you could always try to create your own license management, but it's difficult to do this sort of thing right. If you want to sell the program and protect the revenue, you would be well advised to find a good commercial library.

Hello,

We've used the Reprise License Manger (RLM) with our commercial software, written in Fortran and C#.  Their web site is:
