Definitely the wrong question to ask in this group! Too bad... it is a very
interesting programming question and one where the possible solutions would
be interesting to read about.
IMHO requiring a license and keeping people from using software who don't
get a license is an economical necessity and it is an extrememly common
practice.
To keep everyone in this group happy. How about if we popup up a dialog the
first time an app executes stating:
"This software requires a license. To facilitate a fully functional trail
period persistant information about the date the application was first
executed will be stored on your device. If you do not want this to occur
click the Exit button and delete this applicaiton from your device."
Ok... now lets discuss possible solutions.
