doing trial periods

[Varen Swaab]

While the link below (from sonsofthunder.com) does indeed point to a 
way to create a time limited demo, it is hardly sufficient for a 
commercial software operation. As the instructions point out, for the 
scheme to work it requires the developer to build an application 
individually for each client, not practical if you intend to sell 100's 
or 1000's of apps and it doesn't address the issue of registration.

What would a developer do to offer a polished demo and registration 
scheme for their application?
