I see, so do you know the best way to make a time limited trial? I assume that the License Verification Library (LVL) should not be used for this?
Our apps has sold best when there is no trial version available, so the consumer only has the option of buying the complete version. This approach has been successful on Playnow, we've had 2 apps which have been number one their sales chart. But I assume that this approach is more difficult on Android market, since there are so may free products available? Or is it possible to sell good on Android market without having a trial version?
