Since the only question you really asked was this... One possible method would be to detect that you are running for the first time on a given device and drop some sort of timestamp in the system preferences. Then every time after that, you check the current time vs. the time you put in the preferences. If the time is > 30 days, refuse to run (and display some sort of message directing to your website presumably). If you need help on this, you should check the docs on PrefSetAppPreferences and PrefGetAppPreferences. As for granting access to a new purchased version, you might look into the various distributors/publishers like Handango and PalmGear -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
