WMRMLicenseStateData.Dates
The Dates property retrieves an array of start and/or expiration dates.
Syntax
SAFEARRAY = WMRMLicenseStateData.Dates
Parameters
This property takes no parameters.
Return Values
If the property succeeds, it returns a SAFEARRAY of Variants, indicating remaining dates in a license. If it fails, it returns a number in the error object.
Remarks
The number of dates in the array depends on the license state category. For example, the license might contain only an expiration date, or both a start date and an expiration date, or remaining play counts. For more information, see the Category property.
This property is read-only.
