Simple stop script after certain date;usefull for when you have testers

[thepecher]

Date currentDate = new Date();

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");

Date date1;

date1 = sdf.parse("2014-09-15");

if(currentDate.after(date1)){

log("Test version expired, stopping script");

stop();

}

// import this: import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;

Why not just authenticate it with your server?

I don't have a server. This is for local jars you send to people to test (obfuscated if wanted)

You can get a free one from a ton of web hosts :p plus obfuscation won't do anything if they know what they're looking for.

You could argue that you could take out the server call and have the script run fine, however in that case just have the script download a necessary class/library for it to function and delete it afterwards. This way if the beta test window has passed the server will reject the request for the required dependancies.

Doesn't work, you can change the windows date to use it.

Isn't that easy to bypass by changing the time on the PC?

bypassing a thing doesn't mean that it doesn't work. And good, you know how to use the IMG BBCode, congratulations

Yeah you can but usually testers don't know that so i don't care. Never gave out a fully working script so yeah... Swizz's option might be better. This is just a quick thing you can put in your script incase you need a tester quickly.
