This design approach involves intentionally creating software that becomes outdated or non-functional after a certain period or under specific conditions. This strategy can be observed in various forms: 1. Time-Based Obsolescence: Software may include a code that limits its functionality or operability after a predetermined time. This approach forces users to upgrade or buy a newer version. 2. Incompatibility with New Hardware or Software: Some software is designed to be incompatible with new hardware or software upgrades. This incompatibility makes the older versions obsolete, necessitating a purchase of the latest version. 3.
