                var/key=copytext(FX,1,findtext(FX,"/"))
                var/date=copytext(FX,findtext(FX,"/")+1)

                var/time = time2text(world.realtime, "DD-MM-YY")

                if(time <= date&&usr.key==key)
                    src<<time2text(world.realtime,"DD-MM-YY")
                    usr<<"You are Subscribed"

You can't compare 2 text strings to see if they are mathematically equal, less, or greater. Convert the Month, Day, and Year to numbers, then compare.

So you mean i should use text2num proc

Yes, you can compare text strings. The issue is that the order of the date strings is backwards, here. They need to be in YYYY-MM-DD format, otherwise it just says, "Oh, today is the fourth which is later than the first, so clearly the subscription has expired".

Yeah, that's why I have my Lite Sub check each, although I should make year first, although it wouldn't make any difference to my Lite Sub. Was that reply for me or OP?

I would convert the number to days, and compare.

Example:
proc/text2time(time) //mm-dd-yy for format
    var/month = text2num(copytext(time,1,3))
    var/day = text2num(copytext(time,4,6))
    var/year = text2num(copytext(time,7,0))
    var/days = 0
    days+= 1 + day + (year*365) + round(year/4) // the extra 1 is for leep year in 2000
    if(year/4 == round(year/4) && month < 3)
        days -= 1
    if(month > 1)
        days+=31
    if(month > 2)
        days+=28
    if(month > 3)
        days+=31
    if(month > 4)
        days+=30
    if(month > 5)
        days+=31
    if(month > 6)
        days+=30
    if(month > 7)
        days+=31
    if(month > 8)
        days+=31
    if(month > 9)
        days+=30
    if(month > 10)
        days+=31
    if(month > 11)
        days+=30
    if(days>=round(world.realtime/864000))
        world << "User is a subscriber [days] vs [round(world.realtime/864000)]"

That reply was to you claiming that you cannot compare text strings using < and >, which is categorically false.
