Default stop programe after trial use

That will certainly work to keep newbies honest. Perhaps even the
moderately adept, IF it's in a compiled add-in. Bypassing VBA protection
is trivial, so the code can't be in a regular VBA module.

For instance, in a non-compiled app it would be easy to change only one
value to give a ten year extension to the trial, e.g., bypass the VBA
password and change

If Not DateGood(30) Then

to

If Not DateGood(3660) Then


The biggest problem with it when compiled is that deleting the register
entries resets the trial period for another X days.
