Richmond, forgive me if I am being obtuse, but I don't see the problem.

Create a coded file in an obscure place with an obscure name, and
with an old creation and modification date. You don't even have
to hide it !
This file is effectively "floating around" on the users system, but
I doubt if he can find it and delete it.
The work-around is to set an old systems date every time you boot your
system, but that can lead to unforetold problems

Of course, if you create a non-coded file with todays date, with a
name like "This is Richmonds 30 Day Demo Check File", and put it in
the Preferences Folder, then you are asking for trouble !
