How can i make my chrome extension EXPIRE after a set amount of days?

[Nike Box]

I want to set an expiration date on my chrome extension

Not sure how to do so.

jscrambler.com does this, and it works (using the trial)

since it is only a trial, it sets the expiration date for 2 days MAX, then i have to do it again.

Jscrambler.com is pretty expensive (about $39-$49 a month)

and since i only have 1 chrome extension at the moment, i find it a little too much to pay, for just 1 extension.

I know there is a way to do this (obviously)

But if you look at my web history for the past 2 weeks, you will see that i have searched high and low for a solution or tutorial on how do this....

ANNNNNNNNNNNND i come up short with every search result.

Can anyone help me out in the process of implementing this into my chrome extension?

Any help, or site, or tutorial would be GREATLY appreciated!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!!!!

Did you try reverse engineering the extension by looking at its source code? I think I recall there were post(s) in this forum that mention how to view source of chrome extensions from the chrome app store.

But it is likely the extension implements this logic on the server side, or that they obfuscate the logic of such on the extension's client side code. In which case, it helps you little on how that is implemented.

Let's see if anyone here will share suggestions as to how to implement this. Most likely you would want to do this server side, since you want to force/entice your user to upgrade to paid version, and you need a way to track that.

I hope you're not posting this in an attempt to circumvent the jscrambler extension's trial expiration.

yes i did attempt to reverse the extension but failed.

And no way am i trying to circumvent jscrambler at all.

i know this method works, and there is obviously a method to do this.

I have been reading and searching for something on this for some time now, but can not seem to find anything.

I personally want to do this to 1 extension.

I just do not see the point in paying $40++ a month, to be able to do this with jscrambler.

If i had a few more extensions, or codes, or software that needed to be obfuscated, then yes, i would gladly use their service.

But it just seems like its pointless for 1 measly extension, when i am pretty sure with the help of others, maybe a link or two to some sites, i can do the same thing.

See where i am going with this?

Thanks for your time David!

Hopefully we can find some more information on this process!

Have you looked at the Chrome Web Store documentation about payments? It mentions free trials as a use case, if you use their Licensing API.
