I've run across a few programs with what I considered an acceptable
method of handling expiration dates.  After the expiration date, they
stop working.  Erase the program, reinstall it, set it up again, and
you've got another x days.  I've found it sufficiently annoying that
after a while, I'll either register the program or stop using it.  If I
stop using it, it wasn't one I was going to register anyway.  None of
these caused any bloating of the OS2*.INI files, nor interfered with
trying future versions of the program.
