Recommendations for an application Try & Buy PlayBook of expiring.

I have a PlayBook application that I want to distribute using Try & Buy. If I understand correctly, I am responsible for creating the logic which expires the application X days after installation. I need to do so that the user is not able to always uninstall and reinstall the application in order to extend the trial period. From my research, it seems the phone apps have the ability to store the date of the initial installation of storage 'persistent' which is not deleted on uninstall. The PlayBook has this type of storage? I am familiar with PlayBooks file structure so I know I could put a file in the shared files box, but it would be easy for the user to find and remove.

Someone at - it recommendations for a good way to expire an app PlayBook in a way that prevents to uninstall/reinstall in order to avoid the period bypass trail?

Thank you for your suggestions

I don't know what the Android player support for payment (if anything), but I think that the other three environments now support payment. You can read the information on in-app purchases even if I do not remember the term 'license key' is clearly stated in the API documentation. Easy to find if you need.

I don't know how that would solve the 'problem' with people from uninstalling the app and put it back, however. There is still no mechanism that you can use to save the State that persists through the sequence to uninstall/reinstall.

I would say also that it may well be the best approach "structurally", you may not be happy with some of the side effects resulting from running App World. Specifically, I think that your application would be regarded as 'Free' and listed with free applications, which can mean you end up much lower in lists, because while you can get a lot of installs, you can get some shopping and so some good reviews.

I can not advise other than to say that according to my understanding that you could do a mechanism to try/buy actually there apart from the thing to uninstall/reinstall.

Personally, I think I have just limit my trial version to ensure that certain basic features disabled and so inefficient. For a few dollars, if the trial just gives people a general feeling of the product, and they really are the prospects, they will simply say "hmm... doesn't look bad" and pay the $2 or something else...
