by no longer than?

0Hello, again.02br
02br
00If I want to say that something has to be finished no longer than a particular date, can I say "This manuscript should be finished 01b01i01u00by02u02i00 no longer than June02b00"?02br
02br
00Maybe: "This manuscript should be finished 01b00no longer than June02b00"?, or "This manuscript should be finished 01b00not any more than June02b00"? or "This manuscript should be finished 01b00no more than June02b00"? (Without "by")02br
02br
00Please help.02br
