That's not particularly useful. Just keep a copy of the installer of the demo program. (I always do that anyway.) Instead of having a complicated self-modifying thing, the demo version could just delete itself, or overwrite itself with a stub program.

Correct. And you will have no data that you used for those 30 days because this copy is fresh. So you will do what? Every 30 days start all over again and enter the data you need? Like let's say a veterinary office that has clients and their animals, complete with treatments and pictures? Good luck getting that back in with the new fresh installed one.
