Robert,

I just want point ANOTHER reason, why a developer do not should depend on
protection of Valentina.

You say that this is feature of Valentina, yes.
But it is not feature of ENGINE.

We never have told that this will be forever.
So image situation, you ship app and write in your docs that YOUR app have
10 minutes DEMO, but in 2.0 I decide make 15 minutes, or even remove time
out, and provide some kind of license file...

In this case you must start redo YOUR app and docs in urgent way.
PROBLEMS....
