That's good to know. The documents mentioned that you can set policy for number of uses or length of trial for people who don't have a license.
At first glance, this may look like you can use this policy to have a trial version of your application. But since this only works in paid apps, no one would be able to legitimately download your app without paying anyway. So, if you are setting some policy with trial uses of your app, it is only applicable to those who have a pirated copy of your app. Correct? It doesn't seem like this could be used to publish a "Paid app, free trial available".
