      You have to come up with a method to do this. If there was one method that everyone used, we'd all know how to defeat it, too. And, of course, anyone can decompile your app, remove your code and recompile it, anyhow. One thing I will tell you is, don't rely on the date the app was first installed, the file system seems to mess with that, I've had trouble trying to use it in the past.

      Christian Graus Please read this if you don't understand the answer I've given you "also I don't think "TranslateOneToTwoBillion OneHundredAndFortySevenMillion FourHundredAndEightyThreeThousand SixHundredAndFortySeven()" is a very good choice for a function name" - SpacixOne ( offering help to someone who really needed it ) ( spaces added for the benefit of people running at < 1280x1024 )
