I like the "max x usages" method, which only stops you from using it
once you are sure to have used it enough to know if you should pay for
it or not.

FWIW, if anything is guaranteed to dissuade me from trying software, it's the old "use it 20 times then watch it die" trick. In my opinion, this is a Commercial strategy, not a Shareware strategy, as bad as time-limiting and feature-crippling.

I guess we differ in opinion about that then.

I've been asking people "What would make you pay for a shareware program?" on other forums, and the answer turned out to be very different from person to person. Some people won't pay for shareware no matter (doesn't matter if the price is $1 or $25 for example), while others are more willing to pay for what they use.
