Fair enough, thanks for the reply.
Although, that seems like a feature that is so simple, useful, and Sparkle
would be the perfect place to locate something like that. I've got this in
my app, but I'm finding that encoding the dates so they can't be modified in
the binaries ... well, there's more to it than I previously thought cause
things can be cracked so easily.

Seems like since sparkle does keep apps current, and if an app isn't up to
date (maybe because it wasn't paid for and therefore not up to date by
offering the full feature set) ... then sparkle would send you off in the
right direction to pay for it and get the full update. Just a thought, you
may be right.
