I'm new in Software business, but as I see it, let 'em use the Trial as Full version until they are hooked. I don't even see the point of alerting users that they are using the Trial version. Let them think its a free software.Just let them use it, and when they are hooked, BAM "Trial over"! "No more? How come??" Regards from Serbia I totally agree with this.

Good sales people know the right timing to "nag" their prospect and lead them to pull out their credit cards (or sign the order). But they have the advantage of being able to look their prospect in the face --- or at least talk to them on the phone --- to gauge where they're at. That's much harder to do in an online trial situation. But you can take some guesses... and you're absolutely correct that it's unlikely the prospect is going to be ready to buy at the time they first launch the trial app... so why nag them then! I like the idea of waiting until they've either been using the app for a while, or when they've launched it a few times.
