including user-specific information without recompiling application

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

What is the best way to include user specific information when distributing
an application?

I would like to include information which will be different for each client
when I distribute an application, such as an expiration date, or features
code.

I do not want to have to recompile the application for each client, so I
don't want to use the application properties for this purpose.

I don't want the client to have access to the source for this information,
so I don't want to include an ascii file.

Thanks
Bill
