Select this check box to set an expiration date for the published file. This activates the Calendar box, where you can pick the required date. After the selected date is passed, the file cannot be opened.
Note: Evaluation copies of Autodesk Navisworks 2015 can publish NWD files, however, these files have the same expiration date as the evaluation software. To remove the expiration date from an NWD file created by an evaluation copy, you must re-publish the file with a full Autodesk Navisworks 2015 license. - May be Re-saved

If the file is password-protected, the dialog box is shown after the users have entered the correct password.

- Select this check box if you want to embed externally referenced files, including textures and ReCap files into NWD on publish. This enables you to password-protect referenced files.

ReCap page). - Embed Database Properties
