Those are interesting alternatives.
We know of one customer we lost due to passage of more than 30 days between
first launch and real testing. Of course, there may be many we never heard
from.
I know that more than once I've downloaded something, fired it up to
make sure it works, thought, "hey, that's interesting" and came back
a month later when I had time and gave up because the trial period
had expired.
One of our to-do items is to at least make it possible for potential
customers to get a new 30-day trial period every time we release an upgrade.
That won't be hard to do.
We would also like to devise a solution for people who e-mail us and ask,
"hey, can I get a few more days on my trial period?" The problem with this
is that all the ways to give them a few more days that I've thought of so
far are insecure.
What about, instead of 30 days from the first launch, 30 days from
the second day it is launched (so you fire it up the first day, maybe
twice because of some initial settings issue isn't right, and until
you actually have time to use it you don't start the clock). Or 30
days from the third/fourth time it is launched, or something like
that.
