Hello experts,<br />
<br />
I am looking for a solution (3rd party application, control mechanism, workaround, etc) that will help me have an expired VMWare Image for example in n number of days or some specific date.<br />
<br />
I would like to provide a VMWare image to my customer which can be run in VMWare Workstation but I would like that image to be unusable (unbootable) after a specified date so that that image can only be used for demo purposes. (which means pausing the image or taking snapshots or exporting it must also not work after the specified date)<br />
<br />
I am also hoping if there is a solution for this goal, the solution must be hard to hack or unhackable :)<br />
<br />
Best Regards &nbsp;

A VM Image that expires

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
