Yes, it stops working after X number of days, although there is a open source license available as well. There are other profilers that may help and may be cheaper/free, but I've found YourKit to be one of the best. It's always a question of time/money in my mind. If your time is cheap enough, then spending a few days reasoning through the code may not be that bad.
But it's really hard to beat a good profiler. IMO, having a memory profiler and knowing how to use it is a good tool to have around on any project.
