Due to release of source code, I want to create a crypted binary file that contains the "compilation date", so I can compare this with the date I've compiled the software.
Currently I have a "password-protected" VI, with a text control where I manually writes a certain "code". After I've compiled the exe-file I change the "protected code" to "Released". In other words, the customer will not know what the code is.. If problems or bugs occur in the software, I will request the binary file and know whether this is a file I created or a re-compile done by the customer.
Are there functions or workarounds in LabView to get this information programatically ??
