Customer Hacking System Time Klockness18-Dec-12 4:33 Klockness 18-Dec-12 4:33  I have an application that looks at the system time and records the datetime. We give out demos and license by time. One customer claims to have blocked my application from seeing the time so it always runs. He wouldn't say how but just said he would "not let it look at the time." Before I dig into this has anyone heard of this or know how to do it? He's not really a hacker but is tech savy enough to find things other people have done.

One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature. Re: Customer Hacking System Time Klockness18-Dec-12 10:25 Klockness 18-Dec-12 10:25  I'm just using DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime() Re: Customer Hacking System Time Richard Deeming18-Dec-12 7:32 Richard Deeming 18-Dec-12 7:32  Have a look at: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/run_as_date.html[^] It hooks the API calls to read the system clock and returns a specified date/time to a particular program.

Thanks,
