So ... what you're asking is how you can permanently lay claim to some piece of memory on my memory-limited device just to ensure that, 3 years from now, I can't run your demo again?
Don't do it. It just ticks people off. Find some other way. Or, if you are really set on time-limiting, compare the installation time of the app against the installation time of the database used by that app-- if the gap is too great, refuse to use that database. They can continue to -test- the app as many times as they want as long as they keep creating new databases for testing purposes, but they get no long-term benefit if they don't register. -- -Richard M.
