Perry, some comments: (1) It beats copy protecting the disk. (2) The U.S. Snail wait is going to really infuriate some people, who feel they shouldn't have to wait to use software they've already paid for. Your method would probably work a lot better if they paid AFTER they got to try out a few levels. (3) No matter how clever the scheme (and sometimes inversely proportional to it) you'll gain a few weeks at best. (I know, you know this already, sorry.) (4) It's probably worth a try if no one's already bombed with it. The worst that can happen is it gets cracked early, which would result in nearly the same distribution it would have had if "unverified".
