Don't Go for ACTIVE LOCK! I have used it for one of my app. The app was cracked the very next day i posted it - full with key generator.
The worst part of it is, the crackers Keygenerator built for one program can be reused for other programs simply by changing
1.Password
2.Vibration Length
3.Software Code Length

My suggestion is use all that u could harness and protect your program using a unique protection scheme.

Here are a few tips.

1.Dont't use Ini files to check for Registration.

2.Don't use the system date or local time
to check for Registration

3.Use the last access file time of several Important system files,like System.dat,User.dat to check for time elapse

4.Don't store your date counter in the registry as a number like:
mycount key having a value 30 and decrementing for every day. This can be easily patched.

5.Choose a Location in the registry safe enough to Hide your representation of date
like in the subkeys of CLSID values etc..

6.Never show registration box or give a clue of how to enter the registration key unless they contact you with payment.

I would forget about time limiting. Can't see how it is possible to get round resetting system clock so the programme always runs on the same day.
