I'm not, but how much user-data does you app maintain? Is it enough to be a
major PITA if the user would have to start over? If so, how about storing
the date information on the SD card (in some random binary format your app
would read so it couldn't be manually updated) and check for that. If it's
not there, assume a fresh install and wipe any data the user has,
essentially giving them a "second trial". If you have enough user-data and
settings, it should be enough of a nuisance that anyone wanting the app will
pay for it rather than starting all over again.
