Dear all,
I have created an Excel VBA program (as Add-In). I want to create a Demo
version of this Add-In (for prospective users) which will stop working after
a specified number of days (after installation).

Can anybody give me an idea how to go about this?

Samuel,

A determined user will be able to circumvent any security measures that you can possibly use,
through Excel. The better option is to simply trust them.
