Wow - it sounds like you don't trust this client.
Here's some ideas off the top of my head.
1) you could put in a timeout into the projector & inform the client
that they have 1 week or however much you deem appropriate.
OR
2) you could put a file on your website that contains a 'key' & read
it with getNetText (of course this requires that the client be
connected to the web) & inform the client that the application can be
remotely disabled (remove the key).
& the projector could display 'authenticating demo display' or
something along that line, so that they understand/believe this.
& then of course you can remove the key so that even if they copy the
CD, & nothing will work.
(& then the projector could put up a big pirate skull & crossbones or
something like that)

Hi Tom,
Actually i want the client to see the demo only, I
want to prevent him from making its illegal copies and
distribute to any 3rd parties by replicating the CD.
I know its not easy, but can you guide me in a proper
way. Its very critical for me.
Can I use any Xtras/other plugins for this, client is
ready to pay for this stuff.
Thanks,
Biu George.

That's not hard. Somewhere in your startup script,
attempt to write a
file to a directory underneath (the moviePath). If
it fails, you're
running from read-only media and all is well.

That's lots harder and involves DRM. Stuff like the
above is a lot easier.
