How to set "licence" for Access 2007 database?

[Sandroid]

Hi

I developed an Access 2007 db to a client. Now I want to make a year
based licence for that database that the client must pay if they want
to continue using the database after year. It must be so that database
cannot be used after this date. How I can accomplish this? Thanks!

Tony Toews has given this issue a lot or thought:

Do note that as a desktop application, pretty much any database can be hacked
if the client is sufficiently expert, skilled, and determined (or rich enough
to hire someone sufficiently expert and skilled).

And that expert be sufficiently sleezy to take the job.
