Abstract
Exemplary embodiments prevent tampering of a software release date associated with a software application by incorporating the software release date into a key exchange with a security domain. If the software release date is tampered with, then the key exchange results in the wrong key exchange key. Without the correct key exchange key, the software application will fail its check of the license, and the software application will no longer continue to run.
