When you package a PowerPoint presentation to CD can you create a time bomb that disables the presentation after a certain date? Similar to trial software that times out?

Not within PPT itself.

But I think Secure Pack has something like this. Check

Updates".]

Hello,

In PowerPoint 2003, you can use the new Permissions feature of Office
System 2003 to provide this level of access control over a presention. For
more information on the permissions (information rights management) feature
in Office 2003 go to:

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that PowerPoint should
have additional options for restricting access to presentations (without
having to resort to vba or 3rd party add-ins), don't forget to send your
feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions)
