Hi Spartan,

re:
> What I'm asking is how the programming handles that bit. Is there a specific file that contains the expiration date and relevant code?

Yes, it's part of the code in the main program module file moi_lib.dll .


> And if that's the case, can the files be modified?

Yes, it's possible to do that, it's called "cracking":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_cracking

But usually it's done by people who are distributing pirated versions of the software.

Gotcha.

Admittedly, I had entertained the idea of cracking - though:

A.) I'd put the kibosh on the idea after thinking it through, and:
B.) it woulda been for personal use anyway had I cracked it,

so there's that.

That said, my line of thinking often goes toward "can it be done" more than "should it be done" and "what are the repercussions thereof" - hence my asking in the first place.

Further question: is there (at minimum) one more beta build after this, or is V5's public release the next release?

(also, will V5 be the same price as V4 when it releases?)
