Select Expiration from the Policy list to set an expiration date for the virtual machine. When a virtual machine expires, the files remain on the end user's computer, but the virtual machine cannot be used.

You may select one of the following options for expiration:

• Never — The virtual machine does not expire.
• After x days from installation — The virtual machine runs for the specified number of days after the package is installed, then cannot be used.
• On this date — The virtual machine runs until and on the specified date. It cannot be used after the specified date.

If the virtual machine is set to expire, you may also specify a script used to renew the virtual machine. Click Set to open a dialog box that lets you locate the plug-in script file and specify the command line for running the script. You may also specify a timeout interval in case the script does not run to completion. For details on creating scripts, see Writing Plug-In Policy Scripts.

You may customize the expiration message, enable a warning message, set the time when the warning message first appears and customize the text of the warning message.
