Setting an expiry date for published content
Hi there.
As the title says, I was wondering if there was any way to set an expiry date for published content, which would basically stop users from being able to view the content after a specific date? I've used this feature in KnowledgePresenter before but can't find such a thing anywhere in Storyline.
It would be very handy, as we are basically looking to put our course on disc to send out to people to trial them, but we don't want them having access to our courses beyond the trial period.
Thanks again for any support on this.

Following up here to say that Owen Holt (see previous post) was able to update my Storyline file with Javascript and I'm now able to adjust a couple of variables to set an expiration date each time I publish SCORM files for a client. He's willing to help others as time allows, so feel free to reach out to him on LinkedIn for assistance.
Hi Peter,
Thank you for updating this post! I'm sure others in the community will find this helpful.

Hi has anyone tried SCORMHero for this? I was looking for the same ability to set expiration dates without going through ScormCloud and think this might work but haven't tried yet.
Here's a youtube video for SCORMHero's feature on setting an expiration date.

I'm doing this in JavaScript for Storyline courses. It works well without using any external resources.

Yes. I want to know this as well.
How to set a SCORM expiration date for a Rise course?

You could edit the javascript to remove the function

Hello everyone, this was posted years ago but I can't seem to find solutions to this. Is there something that I am missing? I would appreciate a response or any support on this matter. I also would like yo be able to set an expiry date on SCORM files created in Rise. Thank you! :D

I've done this multiple times in Storyline with JavaScript for clients and it works well. Connect with me on LinkedIn and I'll walk you through it.
Phil is correct that you can use this to [partially] expire a course in Rise. It isn't 100% because of the way progress bookmarking occurs in Rise but it will prevent NEW attendees from accessing an expired course.

Owen has posted a storyline solution that could be added to rise with a continue block to lock it
