Ok, a question in two different frames...
First, is it possible to make an object that would expire? Like, a person could "rent" a scooter or something, but they could only hold/own the object for a limited time.
Second, (more likely I think) to make an object that is used once... then no good. ie: a Firework.

I imagine you could get the current date/time in your script, and if its later than the "exipiration date', call an llDie.

Once the script has figured out that it's been used, make it call llDie() to kill itself. The script has to know it's been used, because a touch or a listen or something else has to be triggered for the script to do anything at all, so once it's done whatever it needs to do, it can kill itself. If it's a firework that gets rezzed from a firework making machine, then it does what it needs to do when it's rezzed... after which, it can kill itself.
