E-Commerce with Game-Editor Question

How do you create a trial based peroid with Game-Editor. What i would like to do is when my game is first starteded it displays a message stating that its shareware and you have 30 days to try it out. Then After the 30 days are up the program displays a dialog asking for a registration key. If the registration key is correct it is stored on the users computer, and the nag screens go away as well as the time limit. Otherwise an "Invalid Registration Key" message is displayed and the program shuts down. Upon next startup the same events happen depending on weather they registered or not, and weather their trial peroid expired or not. Could someone please post code showing me how i can do this?

Sincerely,

Dark Mars Software

Game Editor is not design to make time limited games.
A good marketing method for games is put the first level for download and sell the full version with all levels.

Ok, well do you know how these 2 authors built the license key system for their games?

Note:If the authors wish to do so they can disclose weather the used game-editor and post code on how they implemented it into their game using game-editor.

I don't know. These games were not made with Game Editor.
I have put games in Buy Games section would be maid with Game Editor.

But if you want make a time limited game, you can try some software protection tool.
