Richmond,
I don't know what your program does but if it allows the user to store data you
could embed the timestamp in the data.
This is what I do with InfoWallet. The program InfoWallet itself isn't really
timestamped but data files it creates are. When the datafile is created it gets
a date

I just went through this same thought process. I have a 30 day and
functionality limits in my product but finally accepted that it's
