It's no less or more foul proof than say, Adobe Photoshop. You just give people who might regularly use an illegal vBulletin before buying a chance to evaluate it legally, placing more emphasis on them to buy after 30 days.

I suppose that could work, or they could just write a quick script that after 30 days drops each table hehe

hmm, personally i'd like a vBulletin lite more.
Not as the old one was just to test ability, but just a function restricted vBulletin, which you can get for free (or just a few bucks) and you can use it or expand it into the full version after some time.

but it's just my personal opinion
