Allow LISP to RUN x # of Times ?
« on: August 29, 2013, 06:28:24 PM »
After searching an finding no results, I was wondering if it is possible to limit the number of times a compiled lisp can run all self contained within the compiled lisp ?

Without using registry keys or supplementary files, I believe this would require self-modifying code.

Which in itself can be a PITA, even with non-encrypted/compiled code.

try {GreatPower;}
   catch (notResponsible)
