You have only four choices: We're not going to code it for you (although it could happen if you are lucky or the problem is interesting.) We are willing to help you when you post your attempt (using SRC) and the nature of your problem.

Use something like the below:

#define ExpiredErr   "Please contact the seller, this version has expired. "

int   YearLimit=2017;
int   MonthLimit=9;
int   AccLimit=123;


int OnInit()
{


//--- Enable Trail
   if(Year() >= YearLimit && Month() > MonthLimit)  {Comment(ExpiredErr);   Alert(ExpiredErr);   return(INIT_FAILED);}
   if(AccountNumber() != AccLimit) {Comment(ExpiredErr);       Alert(ExpiredErr);       return(INIT_FAILED);}
   

//---
   return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);

}

Usually, new created accounts hides some one who is a freelancer developer here or there and he/she want to know something without showing his/her name to all.

Here is a sample of my own code that I use, but it is up to you to implement properly. I'm not offering any support on it. It is up to you to do the necessary research and learning.

im going to inbox you the EA
 
dollarpap: im going to inbox you the EA

Promises, Promises! Well, still waiting ...

Don't tell me you only intend to share a locked down executable and not the source?
