Hello all! How can I create a very simple trial (demo) version of an application? Does symbian provide something like windows registry where I can store a date the application launched at the first time?
trial version
Nothing built-in. If you want to save time and headaches, consider these:

You can store some values in the system.ini (but it is possible to delete this file). It's of course always possible to create a file and hide ii in the system folder of the C: drive containing the information your application needs (for example in C:\System\Data\ a file with the name "sys_mmo.pfl" - most users will not dare to delete this).
