1. Handle it outside camunda and deploy the process on July 1 and delete the deployment on August 1st.

3. Use a process start listener and terminate the process instance by throwing a BpmnError without catching it.

Hope this helps,

Ingo

And modify the logic to check the current date to see if it is within your accepted date range.
