On-Screen Controls
Just like watching a video on YouTube, Executables feature a control bar
that appears at the bottom of the show during playback. This bar lets you
skip around in the show, play or pause, change the volume, or go back to
the menu.

The On-Screen Controls checkbox lets you toggle whether these controls
will appear on your show or not. If you’re planning to use the show as a
banner or looping element of a presentation, you might not want to give
your audience control over the show. Otherwise, it’s a good idea to leave
the option enabled.

Protection
The Protection pane is where you can find options designed to let you limit
access to your show. This can help control who views your show or how
many times they get to watch it.

Enabling the Limit By Days option lets you select a number of days in the
life of the Executable. If you set the value to 5, it means that the show can
be watched for 5 days, 5 24-hour periods from the time the Executable is
first played, before the show cannot be watched.

The Limit By Runs option has a similar use except that it counts how many
times the show has been run and limits its views to that number. If you set
this value to 5, the show can only be watched 5 times before it stops
working.
