Have you considered a non-expiring feature-limited demo instead?

Time-limited trials not only are they harder to set up, but after 30 
days if the user hasn't made a buying decision it's just dead weight in 
their hard drive, likely to be removed and eventually forgotten.

But if there's some subset of functionality which could be given away 
for free, with the rest activated with a license key, then you have your 
calling card installed on the user's machine for as long as they feel it 
may be useful to them.
