Tools available from sites such as sysinternals.com can crack any method you use to store a future date anywhere on a system such as in the registry or a file. Unless it's encrypted. But even then if you delete the date from wherever it's stored your app may think it's just installed. Thus I prefer to limit the number of records in one key table such as 5 units or 50 volunteers but allow unlimited access for everything else. Once I get paid then I email them an encrypted file containing the number of records they are licensed for as well as their company name which goes on the bottom of every page of every report and frequently used forms.

True, nothing is truly infalable, but there are ways to make it so hard that it just isn't worth the hack's time.
