Actually, I will not buy software that does this!!! I travel a lot and my primary computer is my laptop. There are hundreds of times when I'm just not connected.

If the software is GOOD and I want it then the best approach has always been for me a polite reminder. This tells me that the company who makes the software WANTS me as a customer and is willing to be polite about it. Where as being treated like I can't be trusted, I usually just trash the software and look else where. Unless of course it is the best software I've ever seen and I just gotta have it. Which is hardly ever the case.

FWIW

One of the nicer ways to do this now is to have your application
"phone home" via a TCP/IP connection.  To activate the software, the
software has to be able to connect with your server.  Every launch it
has to reconnect to ensure that it still has privileges.  At the end
of the time period, it gets notification that its time is up and
that's it.
