FrameMaker 10 licensing "fix"...

[Scott Prentice]

Here's one option for a temporary solution to this problem until Adobe 
provides a real fix. Just create the following batch file and put it in 
the FM folder and set up a shortcut to this batch file. It grabs the 
current date, changes the date to 2012, runs FM, then resets the date. 
You do have to "Press any key" at the PAUSE prompt so that FM has a 
chance to start up. There are ways to make this more elegant, but this 
seems to provide a reasonable workaround. If you're on Win7 or Vista, 
you'll likely need to run this "As Administrator".

IMPORTANT: Use this "fix" at your own risk. I offer no warranty of 
fitness whatsoever!

-----------------
@echo off
rem ** get current date **
for /f "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /T') do set year=%%c
for /f "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /T') do set month=%%a
for /f "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /T') do set day=%%b
rem ** set bogus date **
date 01-12-2012
rem ** run framemaker **
start framemaker.exe
rem ** wait till FM starts **
pause
rem ** reset current date **
date %day%-%month%-%year%
