So ... what you're asking is how you can permanently lay
claim to some piece of memory on my memory-limited
device just to ensure that, 3 years from now, I can't run
your demo again?
Don't do it. It just ticks people off. Find some other way.
Or, if you are really set on time-limiting, compare the
installation time of the app against the installation time
of the database used by that app-- if the gap is too great,
refuse to use that database. They can continue to -test-
the app as many times as they want as long as they
keep creating new databases for testing purposes,
but they get no long-term benefit if they don't register.
