Hi all,

Its my first time posting at the progarmming section here. Just wanna know though if it would be possible for a javascript or vbscript to:
- get the system year and save it to a variable
- change the system year to a couple years beyond the current
- run a routine (like a program)
- restore the original system year

What i wanna know the most though is the one i bold'ed out.
Hope you could help me with these. Thanks in advanced.

was able to do the same via batch file...

@echo off

setlocal

:this part gets the current system date, removes excess characters and saves the results to a temporary file
date/t>temp.txt
set filename=temp.txt
set /p firstline= < "%filename%"
set IDENTIFIER=%firstline:~4,10%
echo %IDENTIFIER%>temp.txt

:this part modifies the date and runs a set of commands including running an installation
date 05/28/2019
start /wait "setup.exe /silentmode"
start /wait taskkill.exe /F /IM tsr1.exe /IM tsr2.exe

:this part restores the date to the original state and removes the temporary file
date<temp.txt
del temp.txt /f /s /q

endlocal

anyhow, im still open to other approach though, like javascript or vbscripting.
thanks in advanced.
